Oh, that's interesting, because lots of people have the data. It says the exact opposite of that, though.

Do you have a link to that because it would be useful to pull up whenever some sycophant tries to defend forcing people back into the office

Couple links i found with sources for the statistics. Owllabs is a common source between tem but i tried to find at least 2 sites with different sources.

Companies that allow remote work see an average increase of $2,000 in profit per remote worker.

I’m about as pro wfh as it gets. It’s been one of the best life improvements I’ve had for me and I absolutely feel like it’s made me more productive for the people I work for.

That said, any statistic that begins with “workers say…” isn’t going to matter to the skeptics or c suite types. And a lot of those stats cited what workers say.

Fair point, to be quite honest it took me a while to even find those two sites. There may be better sources available but i also use duckduckgo for searching so ymmv.

But I absolutely agree with you. I do hybrid remote with my company and it not only saves me time but improves my quality of life significantly even only at 2 days a week.

And thats just what's normally available as i can request to work from home under special circumstances like when my cat was sick and i wanted to be around to make sure he was alright.

Work from home should be available to everyone it can possibly apply to like office work, programming, call center, etc in my opinion.

Won't really help. Most of them ignore reality and substitute their own.
