Many people are being told “you work better in the office“ by their leadership. If that’s not gaslighting I’m not sure what it is.

I'm saying they're not falling for it. They're returning because they have to. Not because they believe they're more productive there.
I think of the word in the context of the attempt, rather than the outcome. We agree on the situation, but I do think folks are “falling for it” as they are the storyline of job scarcity (also pure BS as we sit, though it may become true).
I think you’re both right, they’re attempting to gaslight people but everyone actually on the ground knows the truth. They’re saving time and money while accomplishing all the same goals.
yep. A few of us meet once a week in a shared office, and those who can't always attend are somehow ridiculed by one of the founders. I think this is idiotic, why hire people from hundreds of kilometers away then?
