I'm also a big fan of being able to work from home a couple of days a week

Partial work from home is ridiculous. They fully admit that it isn't necessary to be in the office but at the same time still want to have some kind of control. So they settle for this not at all a reasonable compromise compromise.

If you want to go into the office fine that's your prerogative, but I don't think it's fair to pretend there's some kind of justification for it.

    Do they? I don’t think so.

    So why are they allowing part-time work then. If working in the office is necessary then surely it is necessary 100% of the time. So if they are allowing anyone to spend some time working outside of the office then clearly they can spend all their time working outside the office.

    The managers just don't want them doing that.
