Any examples you're willing to share? The only study I'm aware of is MSR's which news sources like https://www.zdnet.com/article/remote-work-is-making-productivity-and-innovation-harder-says-microsoft-study/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/remote-work-is-making-producti... summarize as "... the organization-wide switch to remote working in 2020 damaged communication and collaboration between different teams – while driving up working hours."
They are writing it off though, as you say, since I have heard that MS has not required staff to return to the office.
- joshstrange 4y agoI was responding directly to this line: > They often doubt the measured productivity improvements of WFH, and either believe that the metrics are inflated or that they are temporary, and as in-person connections fade then so will productivity. Specifically "believe that the metrics are inflated or that they are temporary". Though it wouldn't be the first time I saw first hand a company reject the will of the employees or what the data is telling them because it doesn't match their "gut" (speaking of pre-pandemic things at a company I used to work at).
