T, I would just fire anyone refusing not to RTO five days a week.
You were hired to work in the office. RTO now.
“More than half of every crew I've worked on from call center to outside techs try to slack off all day AT work. Suddenly because they work from home they get motivated to do more work than they did AT work? Especially with unsupervised and all the distractions?. Be honest with yourself and everyone trying to throw out fake statistics of being more productive at home. Most people slack off even more at home. RTO is good for not only the company but for society. A certain level of stress and responsibility pushes you to perform. Most not all but most fighting against RTO just don't want to do real work. If remote work was more productive for the company ALL the companies wouldn't be doing RTO but guess what most large companies are requiring RTO because they have enough data from the last several years that it's not working anymore. Just physically go to work like everyone else. Be an adult and stop crying about having to being a productive life form. Remember the company doesn't you, you can be replaced easier than you quoting and finding another job that's 1:1. Yes you may be able to find one but there are more people saying they cannot find good paying jobs than can right now. So pick your choice. It's easier just to shut up and do what they want so you can guarantee your paycheck 2 weeks at a time to support your life/family.”
Reposting since this is such a great summary.
Your economic gain from being placed on WFH should offset any cost increase to have you return to the office. If you didn’t set that savings aside, that’s sounds like a F up on your part. Tells me it may be best for the company to not have you on the payroll.
'RTO is good for not only the company but for society.'
Actually, the most recent studies and empirical data contradict your statement. As well, the stress of the commute has a significant negative health effect on individuals due to increasing blood pressure and stress.

Use the savings built up during over two years of the pandemic when staying at home full-time. Those savings should have earned interest.
