The three biggest reasons employers (led by financial institutions) have undertaken a concerted effort to force employees to return to work:

1) The commercial real estate market was on the verge of collapse and was one of many raging infernos in the Jewish economy

2) Lots of time at home meant lots of "unsupervised" time online. This translated into radicalization and is one of the most significant contributing factors to the sharp rise in anti-semtism

3) DC, NYC, Chicago, LA, and hundreds of other majority non-white cities are unsurprisingly entirely dependent on White workers coming into the city to live, work, and spend their money. The combination of telework, inflation, and more than anything else, unchecked violent non-white crime has made that impossible. And yet the narrative from the employers of these workers (most of whom are owned by BlackRock, Vanguard, or State Street) is that they're just lazy and unproductive - even though countless studies have demonstrated that the opposite is true.
