    lol that page is titled "3 New Studies End Debate Over Effectiveness Of Hybrid And Remote Work". The three studies are done by: Prodoscore - a company that does remote employee monitoring Owl Labs - makes video conferencing devices Ergotron - makes desks, workstations and monitor arms.

        The first study is call center employees which is really not relevant to most tech jobs for obvious reasons. In fact, call center employee jobs were being outsourced to people working from home in midwestern states over a decade ago (which shows why this study was able to be conducted in 2015). The second study is during COVID and doesn’t even address productivity.

  speak for yourself, I’m way more productive now that I dont have some manager interrupting me for meaningless bullshit every 5 seconds tapping on my shoulder, or being broken out of my flow because some sales bros can’t keep it down across the room while bragging about how drunk they got on the weekend
