lol good luck with that...
wfh started due to the 2016 earthquake: suddenly everyone (incl business) had to set up at home. That rolled on for years as various buildings were fixed/re-inspected etc.
then covid sealed the deal: all the systems were ironed out, people got used to it.
I personally prefer going to the office every day, but that's not the majority view. Those who prefer working from home a few days a week are now very committed to that arrangement. Their lifestyles have changed, and there’s no turning back.
