#3For big tech specifically part of the issue is that they fired a significant percentage of people managers on the ground, often orphaning entire org trees - especially in remote offices.
No longer having a good sense of what everyone is up to, they are using ye old attendance as a proxy for doing work.
Idiots.

#5Remote vs office is just smoke and mirrors. A company with a good product will thrive no matter the policy.
Making a big deal of returning your cattle to the farm is just to soothe investors when you have a subpar product

I like to compare it to releasing films in theaters vs streaming. The former has a large industry that has relied on it for decades, as well a subset of consumers that love it. The latter is more convenient for other consumers, as well as being embraced by some companies. Shareholders naturally want to take advantage of whichever is more profitable, which often is a mixture of the two.

#8Why are companies so hellbent on asking their workers to waste hours in commute? WFH hurts people with “soft” skills the most. MBA types.

It's the tax breaks:
>Of the billions in tax incentives granted to US companies every year by cities and states, many agreements require workers to come into the office some of the time, or at least live in the region. For companies receiving these incentives, relaxing in-office attendance could be costly.
>The contracts were crafted in a pre-pandemic era, at a time when commutes to the office were a given. Now governments are deciding whether to crack down or rewrite the rules entirely. In some states and cities, policy changes have already been proposed to account for the new reality of hybrid work.

I wish I could upvote this more, the cattle back to the farm is on point, exactly what a lot of these execs think but are afraid to say out loud.
