    I don't even get it. There is literally no benefit for the major company I work for to make me go back to the office, but they're doing it anyway.

    I tried to get an accommodation request from my psychiatrist to let me stay home, but it would only last 3 months and they want $75. I might just have to do it though.

        They don't even own the building I work in, they're paying some landleech so they can force me to work from the office for no good reason. It would save them money to let me keep working from home.

      One theory is that they’re trying to lower employment. The fed and companies have been saying too many people are working. Forcing people to do something as insane as returning to an office when it has been proven that workers are as productive if not more productive at home means many will quit, saving you from being the bad guy who fires everyone
