“They feel like we’re not working if they can’t see us,” she said. “It’s a boomer power-play.”
100% this! and exactly the battle I waged for nearly 5 years before I was finally able to start working some days remote, this was just prior to the pandemic. Bosses (VP and Pres) were both mid 60's. by my calculations over the course of 5 years my 20 km intercity round trip commute cost $6,000 and 120 days of my life when all hours added up.
Now's the time to push the benefits of remote work, the savings, the efficiencies, health & lifestyle benefits. I saw an article today from CBC (our government funded propaganda network) introducing the idea of "returning to the office". Hell no, there is no returning, end of discussion.

Glad you shared your personal experience with it. I witnessed, from afar, the transformation. The company I use to work for was run by a stuck in the mud, young Baby Boomer. The company was stalled and eventually sold to a manufacturer. After his contract ran out, it was not renewed and he was replaced with a Gen-X. This guy is not technologically advanced by any stretch but he was willing to adopt different approaches. From what I heard, post COVID, only essential personnel are in the office. In fact, he closed down a number of branches...just got rid of them.
