It depends on your POV. They could say when you were coming to the office they were paying you for the time lost for commuting, for having to pay higher rent, for having to deal with incompetent managers and constant interruptions in the open-plan office. Now that you don't have to deal with all these, they take away that bonus.

In any case, no matter what they say, the ability to WFH, either completely or partially, it's one of the very few good things that the pandemic brought. We need to protect this advancement in spite of the efforts of CEOs wondering why they bought monstrous campuses and how they are going to explain the sunk cost to the shareholders (hints: it's their problem, not ours).
