Do you have any data to back any of that up? Cause the data, by in large, contradicts that: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3711386/why-return-to-office-mandates-fail.html#tk.rss_all

That was a good article with lots of great sources. But my tinfoil hat is telling me that all of these large companies demanding return to office aren't doing it because "beliefs". They're doing it because the people have gained too much power in the last few years and this is the strategy to put them back in their place. Lay people off in hordes while interest is skyrocketing and demand more from them if they want to keep their jobs. Make them afraid and vulnerable so we can control them better. But again... that's the tinfoil hat talking.
Definitely makes sense...
Beyond self-reports and perception-based outcomes, most extant studies that I'm aware of have found decreases in real output. For example, a randomized controlled trial published by the NBER found that productivity of employees randomly assigned to work from home was 18% lower than employees randomly assigned to work in the office:

Another study found that output decreased by around 13% when employees worked from home, even though hours worked increased:

Cognitive performance may also decline in remote settings:

Your claim is you're stupider when you work from home? And you're basing that off of online chess tournaments?
No, it isn't; performance != ability, and it's not clear that cognitive performance declines at all--hence the word "may."
My claim is that
Nothing more.
So your claim is pure speculation and has no real merit. Yes, I agree.
