3. A lot of young employees gain experience and understanding just by watching the Veterans do it. You can't do that if they're not there.
And then...if you solve a difficult problem, together? You hit the pub and commiserate about it.
Again. Can't do that if you're not there.

It should be the manager for that team as (in theory) they'd be best positioned to know what's best for the team and be able to consider other factors like junior people growing their careers and developing general work and team skills. That said maybe the manager doesn't care about that and just does whatever is easiest for them so I guess only in theory.
As opposed to now where it's a decision made based simply on some exec's KPI or having empty offices looks bad. Because were I am now you don't even have to go to the same office as your team or sit in the same area as your team as long as you physically show up in ANY office for the requisite # of days to still attend all meetings and interact via Teams.. kind of proving that they don't actually care about any actual benefits of working together in the office.
