> Jobs that used to be a 9-6 in office are now getting regularly scheduled 8/8:30am meetings (and still keeping the 5pm ones).

Incidentally, this sentence actually demonstrates that this is not a new thing with WFH. At some point in the game for a lot of people, the 9–5 became a 9–6 as employers decided to start begrudging employees their lunch break.

If you're on salary, short-sighted employers are incentivized to take as much of your time as you will let them. Going into the office won't prevent that (especially not in the internet era), you have to stand up for yourself.
