For companies that haven't built remote cultures with employees that enjoy face to face work, productivity just won't be higher at home. If you're just chugging away at assignments sure, you'll be more productive. But there are a lot of types of jobs where that just doesn't work. Setting aside the obvious areas like biotech and hardtech where you need equipment, any highly innovative/team driven work will be better in person. You don't just work when you're at your desk. Thanks are the types of jobs where you're having discussions with your coworkers over lunch that spark some idea or the like. And anything where that constant access to face to face communication would help is being hurt. Of course not all companies are like that, but not all companies are the opposite either. We've got a diversity in our workforce and companies that just can't fit a single style of work.
