I'll explain it from a corporate employee perspective. The pandemic allowed people to wfh full-time and they loved it (I'm one of them), and then companies realized that once it was "over," they were losing money hand over fist on all those empty buildings. So these same companies drummed up this bullshit narrative that work culture was suffering even though by all accounts productivity and employee satisfaction went up, it was essential to come in 3 days a week...for reasons. So people are using their time more and more because they just don't want to deal with all the bullshit that goes into driving in and sitting in a cramped cube when they could get the exact same, hell more work done from home.

The situation is complex indeed. The first rise is exactly due to the reasons you describe.
People did not come into work, because they were claiming they had the sneeze.
We can probably see that in Sweden there was no such a rise in absentees.

Later the numbers rise even more. That is due to a different factor.
And that is where the vaccine injuries come in.
About 50% have small blood-clots. There is also huge nerve-damage, VAIDS, some auto-immunity.
Both can cause problems over long term, while long-covid symptoms go away (unless you were vaxed).

The problem is that the vax makes your body produce the most toxic parts of the virus (spike-proteins) in huge quantities.
When it lasts a few months as we see in research, it causing your body to create IgG4 and auto-immunity symptoms.
So if anyone thinks the virus is dangerous, the vax is far more dangerous.

Luckily there is medicine like Ivermectin that can help against the spike-proteins.

Agreed for the pandemic, but I also think that corporations simply found out that they were losing money on their real estate investments and it's tough to convert that in the face of employees choosing not to work in the office if they can. There's no corporate culture and a good chunk of the jobs are done through email, phone and telecommuting. I don't see why they can't be smarter about it and let those who enjoy the office environment and need that face to face interaction come in and those that don't wfh. I'm sure you could go by the numbers and adjust your spacing needs accordingly. All this corporate talk about sustainability and they're ignoring an easy fix.
