Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this.

Now after a bunch of companies want their remote workers back at the office, every one of those companies are being almost propaganda machines which do not cite sound scientific studies but cite each other and interviews with higher ups in top companies that “remote workers are less productive”. This is further cementing the general public’s opinion on this matter.

And research that shows the opposite is buried deep within any search results.

Have you noticed this? Please share what you have observed. I’m going paranoid about this.

    poor management all around, grasping at short term solutions because they can’t see past the next quarterly financial reports

    our company actually closed several offices due to low in-person turnout after the pandemic started to ease up, and they said they would just sub-lease out the buildings to recuperate money

    those of us in the office cities are now fully remote

      Well said. “Grasping at short term solutions beacuse they can’t see past the next quarterly financial reports” is at the root of a lot of problems today.

      It irritates me that more investors and stock owners aren’t speaking up about it. We should all want our corporations to make better choices.
