I saw a company all-hands meeting online where some CEO who's got a
portfolio full of commercial real estate holdings harangues the company
population about Return to Office, while they're sitting in their home
office.

I'm hoping my company moves to a hoteling model for their office spaces.
They allow remote work, and a smaller, more vibrant, well-appointed
office looks better than older, empty offices.

People are used to hybrid meetings, so there's some parity with remote
and in-office workers. Most conference rooms are video-enabled or at
least have a conference phone.
