There seems to be a disconnect here: > 75% wanted to be in the office three days a week or more; only 34% of non-executives felt the same way. They go on then to talk generally about people might need to be in the office. This is missing something really obvious though - Executives think executives need to be in the office. Not everyone. It makes sense that Executives - people whose role is primarily about co-ordinating the organisation obviously are better off being in the office because the office is good for all the things you need to do as an executive. It is great for high bandwidth communication. Meanwhile, individual contributors work is primarily solitary and so enjoy far more benefits from working at home in a more controlled, isolated environment. Executives think they themselves should be in the office 3 days a week. That doesn't necessarily mean that executives think everyone else should be in the office 3 days a week.
