    My cubicle office job often involves going downstairs to the lab so I can take measurements with equipment far too expensive for me to have at home, and even too expensive for the company to lend out to employees’ home offices.

    A lot of return-to-office work is bullshit, but making absolutist blanket statements like that just weakens the argument rather than helping anybody.

      Then you don’t have an office job, but a lab job that also involves sitting in an office. Almost every job that is 100% sitting in an office can be done remote.

      The reality is that its unnecessary for the absolute majority but there are some exceptions, which people wont list to make their statement absolutely correct. It would be exhausting to do that just to satisfy some people who need that.

      I dont mind blanket statements when its something to applies to almost everyone.
