I apologize if asking for data hurts your feelings, and you’re obviously welcome to share your experiences as well (I did in a parent comment above).
The reason I asked for sources is that there seem to be a lot of experiences/anecdotes on both sides of this issue, but so far I haven’t been able to find too much research that supports the idea that working in person is beneficial to overall productivity, or to the company culture, or to any other company-wide metric that would justify having a mandate that all employees must work in person. If that data exists I’d like to see it, so that I can decide whether it’s worth changing my own position on this issue.
