You contribute to anti-remote work sentiment by doing this.

The point is choice. Most compagny should allow both remote and not remote

Some of the company work remotely for only that reason. You always have the option to say no.

I don't see what the issue is, if you don't want to return to office you're welcome to work elsewhere that is fine with remote. The people who want to work in person can do so and be happy and you can work remote and be happy.It's weird to demand from your employer when you're in control of where you work.

Office workers want to push the office on everyone. Remote workers are not trying to push office workers to work from home.

Nobody is ruining anything for anybody. Those who want to work remote, go work somewhere where they can work remote. If you don't want to work remote, you find an employer that offers premises. Either way no one forces you to choose employer that doesn't suit you.

This is more a statement against managment than remote work

People may care. But, if the company policy is that people can work remotely when they want to, asking others to commute into an office on a regular basis is a pretty high bar.

Downvoted because some people want to downvote reality and prefer remote work, i suppose.

Wouldn't it be more appealing for companies to allow their employees to work remotely?
