Ericsson recently tightened its policy for office attendance — but the decision was taken too quickly, according to union officials, forcing some staff to take meetings in the toilets.
So, company expected employees to WFH during pandemic to keep the company running and they complied. Company saw all that empty real estate and cut costs, company then demands office time, and finds out they do not have enough office space anymore… and this is now the employees problem.
It’s time that 50pct WFH is government mandated to cut down on unnessecary travel and pollution. Travel time should just be considered work time by the government, watch the WFH return immediately and office time flex around rush hours all of a sudden.
Make them pay the time the commute takes you as if it was working time. You’re only commuting to work for them after all. That will sort the issue once and for all.

Maybe make it so that companies have to pay for gas or public transport of their employees instead

Given that rents are higher near population centers, i think “the market” would solve it.
Maybe a little. But they need employees.
