It's especially ironic because they aren't that concerned about absenteeism in the sense of "people skipping out on work". They're concerned about people doing the requisite amount of work in a different place than the company would prefer

    I love how not a single word was about productivity. Because it's only about control, regardless of the negative impacts to the employees or company. Useless management trying to justify their existence.

    I do a job in which I produce countable digital product for my employer. I keep records of everything I complete (it only takes a couple of seconds per item).

    I went back and looked at my logs for the last six months (to shake out any "on this day I was working on Xs, on that day I was working on more time-consuming Ys" biases) and wouldn't you know it...

    The three days a week I'm at home working alone and not getting interrupted every five minutes by a coworker, I'm almost 20% more productive on average than the two office days where that's not the case. I know, I was as shocked as you are.

    And guess whose employer just announced a third office day per week upcoming? It's almost like they're saying, "Oh boy, I can't WAIT to get less worker productivity! But at least they'll be collaborating!"

    Employers are much more focused now than they were pre-pandemic on quality of workplace experience, the efficiency of seat sharing and the vibrancy of the districts in which they’re located

    Oh please.

    The term for that is "constructive dismissal", and it's illegal in civilized countries.

    Any time there is a material change in work conditions, it is a renegotiation of the employment contract. You want me to come in full time, you're gomna have to pay me more.

    My company’s leadership has slides in every quarterly update with attendance numbers for each office.
