I understand but has this all changed dramatically in the last 3 years since the pandemic started? My whole office used to commute 4 days a week deal with traffic or public transportation, figure out kids activities, etc and now just doing what they used to do is intolerable? I get that we had a few years with more flexibility but we're being asked to do what everyone did for decades and suddenly that's too hard and everyone will quit?[/quote]

Many people have changed jobs in the last 3 years.  For example, a year ago I moved to the federal government, accepting a role that had me come in twice a pay period.  When interviewing for this role I was told that the team planned on staying hybrid and did not plan to increase the days in the office.

So, if one was to point out that the team I joined was 5 days in the office pre-pandemic and why is that intolerable now when we all used to do it?  Well, I wasn't in this role back then, and neither were many of the people who joined my agency in the past 3 years.    So it's not a "return" for any of us, but a big change.[/quote]

Yes, but what were the in-office standards at your old job? The fact is that you snagged an unusually good accommodation DURING A NATIONAL CRISIS THAT HAS PASSED, but you want to keep that accommodation forever. It’s like getting a temporary disability accommodation and expecting to keep it after you’re fine. I get it: you have a good thing and want to keep it. But, don’t play the “I’ve been duped. It’s unfair” card. You sound silly. [/quote]
