Funny how all of these companies have the same policy regarding returning to work, despite the fact that a dozen or so studies exist that prove empirically that employee productivity increased during the WFH era.
Real estate investments and oil production are the only American dream. Productivity doesn't mean shit if oil stops flowing or real estate values evaporate. The ruling class doesn't care if you finished your excel spreadsheet by 4pm.
I question those studies. It's way easier to get someone's attention in office than emailing them 3-4x. Additionally teamwork definitely increases when you work face to face at least sometimes.
I agree but only if your team is in the same office. Nowadays people are working with teams based around the world and if your entire team is working remotely then there's not much point to being in the office.
