Transition from remote to in-office work

Zade, a young Gen Z professional, shares his experience transitioning from remote work during COVID to a full five-day work week. Initially, his company was completely remote, but due to projects not getting done and lack of productivity, they shifted towards in-office work. This transition caused some employees to leave, and it was difficult for Zade, who has an hour-long commute. The company made the decision to enforce a full five-day work week with no flexibility or remote work options.
