Remote or on-site work, who decides?

Elon Musk has stated that all of his employees must come back on-site at least 40 hours a week or leave the company.

After months of the pandemic, some jobs discovered that they could perform very well, working remotely, while enjoying significant benefits,

such as:

- No longer having to spend hours in transit to get to work

- Being able to spend more quality time with family

- Less pollution

- Going to the essential...

The question is not so much to know if we are more efficient in person or remotely, but rather if we can leave such a decision to the discretion of employees alone?

Can we still think in 2022, that a top-down management model can make sense? It is the responsibility of a leader to indicate the target to reach, but on the contrary, it is not his responsibility to tell his employees how to reach this target.
