You realize that you're experiencing massive selection bias right?
A) it's not very socially acceptable to talk about how much you'd rather be at home with your cat than here talking with this colleague.
B) everyone you work with chose a hybrid job.
i.e. "People who choose to work a hybrid job think hybrid is better"
Or in your case, "people who get to go into a big tech office with free meals and gyms and laundry think it's better to go into the office".
Try working a hybrid job where you commute 45min each way, and still have to cook yourself three meals a day and then come back and tell us whether you think hybrid is really more productive. I spent a year at a MAANG firm as a contractor and got to go to their head campus near SF and thought 'damn, if this was what working was like, I could more easily see myself going into the office', then I returned to my home city and went to their office their and saw the stale muffins that were breakfast and remembered the whole rest of my career and what companies are like and returned to the real world.
Yes, I understand the hurdle in asking people questions, but quite frankly that is addressable through numerous ways from zoom office hours, to better team rituals and culture, to slack bots, occasional meetups, or just plain old fashioned pair programming... all methods that cost far less and cause far less disruption to people's lives then forcing in them into an office 3 days a week.
And you know what else is more productive for a company? Having everyone working 60 hour weeks in the office all the time. Who. the. fuck. cares. We live in a world with literal billionaires. Working more doesn't make the world a better place it enriches assholes who never learned how to share or be happy with what they have.
