Corporations have missed that we employees are actually customers. We trade services in exchange for cash. We can easily take our business elsewhere. It's no surprise that the business leaders focus on "culture". "Oh, they have to be here four days per week or we don't have culture". Not effectiveness. Not satisfaction. "Culture". And by "culture" they mean "kissing ass" and maintaining their lordships feudal demesne. They make noises about "bums in seats" being necessary for productivity, yet they either don't have measures in place to measure productivity, or conveniently forget them, since the data shows that productivity is the same or better when an employee is allowed to choose where to work. Then there was that article about how junior employees wont be able to learn from senior employees, which is arse. If anything it's easier to work together remotely. Bonus, nobody putting their hands on a junior as they lean in "to get a better look at your work". But in any case, junior employees aren't going to learn from senior employees if the senior employees arent there.
