The problem with remote work is management not employees.

ICs job is literally to work not to come up with innovative new ideas to advance the company. Thats what MANAGERS AND EXECUTIVES ARE SUPPOSED TO DO and the ICs implement those ideas.

For some reason it's expected now for IC s to be doing managements jobs and for that reason they need to be coming into the office for collaboration?

The managers and executives are the ones who meed to be going into the office to collaborate.

Good management would come up with the ideas and efficiently break it down so that ICs can take the work and run with it no collaboration needed.

No this is all about control and 'cultural fit' shaming to fear people into doing their jobs rather than being a good manager that is capable of distributing work in an efficient way and treating people in a way that people are inspired to do great work for you a thousand miles away even without any supervision.

It's a lot more difficult to be a manager that people follow out of respect and love vs a manager people follow out of fear and constant monitoring.
