I believe that the explanation is simply because an executive job is more about managing relationships with clients, partners, stakeholder, suppliers and the first line of management rather than building something or executing some specific task. Or in other words: it's politics. And this "relationship job" is definitely better done in person rather than remotely. Actually I am surprised that the percentage is not higher. The disconnect between the executives and employees is first of all in the kind of job that one is expected to do vs the other. P.S: I am just a mundane employee.

> Actually I am surprised that the percentage is not higher. I feel like a good amount of executives will end up putting the needs of their own workers above their ego/this desire to play office politics, and the scentiment for keeping remote work will influence how much they'll be for it. After all, management just manages, and the negotiating power of these skilled workers is very high; not offering remote work, while competitors do, means bleeding talent.
