why are companies trying so hard to have employees back in the office?

I have posted this on Reddit (askeconomics) a while back but got no good replies. Copying it here because I don’t want to send traffic to Reddit....

What's an easy yet useful skill that everyone should learn?

Who went "full fedi" yet?

Bit of a simple question: Some people on lemmy are still posting stuff from youtube, xitter and the like....

What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved.

What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow?

It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”...

What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

I’ll go first: “You have to have children when you’re young,” told to me when I was in my late 20s, with no desire to ever have kids, and no means to support them, by someone divorced multiple times with at least one adult child who does not speak to them....

What is something that definitely should not exist?

What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?

For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

People have been cleaning their ears with cotton swabs for years. What other tools are being inadvertently used wrong?

What animal could you delete from existence with a mostly positive outcome for the planet?

And don’t say humans, too obvious, too cynical....

When sleeping, door open or closed?

Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?

Who was worse, George W. Bush or Donald Trump?

Just watched the Boy Boy video on George Bush’s Masterclass, and they made me think about which U.S. President was actually worse.

can anyone tell me wtf this is? (pasteboard.co)

Found it dead in my dishes

[Serious] The revolution was successful! The old government is gone. You get to help write the new Constitution. What do you put into it?

What are some notable blunders in history that resulted in huge loss?

Loss in terms of money or efforts. Could be recent or ancient.

The magic genie has appeared to grant you your wish. What small thing do you wish for that would have the biggest positive impact on the world?

This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased?

I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say....
