> I personally prefer a company where everyone's on site.
You do understand that "I personally prefer" and "actually works better" and "better for everybody involved" are three different things, do you?
We were told for years that it's an established fact that remote work is inefficient and untenable. We have proven - with an experiment that we wouldn't rather go through, but we had no choice - that this is false. That doesn't mean it is for everybody - but it doesn't also mean that the thing you prefer is for everybody. So why it's ok to force one of these things onto everybody? That's what the managers should be able to answer.
