Employees are being marched back to the office. But why? | Life and style | The Guardian

Like many people I thought Covid, with its stopped clock and blunt force, would bring a major reckoning. A reckoning with small things, like what we wear, and with large things, too – how we relate to each other, for example, how we consume and, crucially, how we work. But what seemed to happen, and very quickly, was that people rushed back to try to make life exactly as it was before. There was a panic to fill the empty office blocks, to repopulate the Prets and very little incentive to use the imposed pause to look around at what could be improved and what we’d got terribly wrong. I sound like a child saying this, I know, but what if the office blocks became affordable flats instead? What if we learned one single lesson? The rise of hybrid working was one of very few silver linings to the pandemic – that reach for an elusive balance and acknowledgment from employers that their workers were human beings, too.
