Too lazy to get their butts into the office
IDGAF
The managers want you in the office so they can yell at you. They cannot do that on a zoom call as it is recorded : )
On location it is easier to set up teams and promote those that meet your DEI goals instead of performance.
Too lazy as in too lazy to travel several thousand miles to get to the office?
We've hired people who live in different states. There is no "return to the office" for them.
