    Two of my previous employers went out of business or are on their final thread and moved out to some small office somewhere. Those buildings have each been vacant for about 2 years now. Can’t collect rent if no tenants

          If they are not planning to renew their leases, then they aren’t doing the bidding of their landlords as OP suggested.

          In other words, if a company (for some reason) wants to please commercial real estate owners, it doesn’t have to end WFH.

          And if it doesn’t care about pleasing commercial real estate owners, then it must have some other reason for ending WFH.

            Commercial real estate owners need RTO because their stocks and assets are valued on feels. If most companies are paying for empty buildings, line goes down because they are perceived to be sure to sell.

            And especially with really big corps who actually own their buildings, if it’s empty and perceived to be worth less, the company is worth less.

        Oh yeah you do, since your revenue depends on how many asses they expect to be in those seats.
