My take is Google(and big tech) had bad management in the area of employee awareness. They could build smaller satellite offices near where their employees live. I mean its Google! They have tech and money. G spent half a billion on abandoned small lots in San Jose to house their empoyees. Bay area traffic is horrible because employees cant afford to live near the main office. The pandemic offered a way to no longer sleep in a self driving lesla for 3-4 hours a day because its so bad.

>The amount of things that got people throttled or banned but ended up being true in the past three years is unacceptable.

For instance I got banned from r/coronavirus for saying people should wear masks back when the government was saying they shouldn't. A few weeks later you'd get banned for saying they shouldn't wear masks because the government flipped positions. There were multiple rounds of mass banning in that sub for similar issues where the government or new cycle flip flopped.

Ookay that’s a very long answer which I mostly don’t understand, you’re probably correct in what you’re saying, but my general point is that it’s pretty unlikely that cybersecurity is the primary reason to bring everyone back to the office. If that was the case we would have received much much more stern commands to return to office or leave the company

I'm sure there are exceptions, but most companies are going to use a certificate provisioning process tied to the device that is required for connecting to corporate resources. I agree with you that lacking this opens the door for someone to connect with an insecure device and create a whole series of compliance issues.
