I love seeing people stand up to these mandates. I flat out ask the purpose for my physical presence, and unless it's an objectively good reason AND everyone else required will be present, I'm staying away. I've too often arrived at an office to sit on a Teams call.

I'm not contributing to traffic pollution and seeing my kids less to satisfy someone's whim or real estate investment. As far as I'm concerned, that ship has sailed. Virtual whiteboards exist. Welcome to the future.

That is EXACTLY what happens with me. Every single time my calls involve people in different places. Why would I bother if I'm just going to be talking to people who are at their home or halfway across the world?
