The Absurdity of the Return-to-Office Movement::The return-to-office demands make little sense from an overall economic perspective, while working parents, in particular, benefit from not having to waste time commuting to an office, writes Peter Bergen.

In the in office days meeting room availability dictated the number of meetings you could have a day. Virtual has created meeting hell for me at times.

That never stopped people having meetings. Before virtual you had good ol' teleconference and you were on the phone the entire day. You also had clients wanting a meeting or the company office in a different city/state/country/continent that wanted to discuss things so you travelled multiple hours for a one hour meeting in some cases. Fun times.

Time management and the ability to say no remain important, in office or work from home.
