> Says anyone who has spent more than a decade in the workforce.

Well, no. I have worked almost double that, and I don't feel that way.

I tend to think there is mainly an echo chamber of somewhat entitled young north americans incorrectly correlating high compensation in a decade long hyped industry (tech) with social status.

Well if that is your definition of reality, maybe you should consider whether you could be part of your issue with office spaces...

> shitty management trying to take it away

Definitely, that kind of remark reinforces my opinion that you should reflect on whether your look at the situation is biased.

Anecdotally, I am aware of people who seem to truly believe that. I used to think it is a question of age, but even that quickly got corrected as from within my professional circle there was no clear way to determine a good predictor for office/no office preference. It seems oddly almost evenly split, which seems very weird to me.

That said, the 'entitled young Americans' thing appears to be a common talking point I see on linkedin and other corporate safe spaces.

Haha this is like a really poor attempt at PowerTalk and sociopathy from a wannabe executive.

"Have you considered the increased opportunities for synergies in the office? We should punt on this until next quarter's all hands when we can utilize our increased office presence to actualize our OKRs."
