Nothing to do with productivity, confuses quality of work with quantity of reported work hours. If results are the same or better who cares how many 'hours' of work are recorded?

>>> If results are the same or better who cares how many 'hours' of work are recorded? Good question. Who indeed! Doesn't that make you think about the whole situation? If the results are the same or better, why are CEOs complaining? I think it's clear that we're hearing about this because the results are not the same or better, they're often worse. I work remotely, and the company is 100% remote. But, we are small (< 150) and only hire very senior people. Everyone knows exactly what they're supposed to be doing and is accountable for their work. It's just not like that in many organizations. Huge numbers of people really will do as little as they can get away with - and that turns out to be very little when they're unsupervised. From the places I've worked, CEOs are often the busiest and have the most interruptions. They ought to value remote work more, what with the time they save from not having to commute. Then there's the cost of office space. It takes a lot to turn them against it. There's a good reason why this backlash is happening.

  Definitely doesn’t have anything to do with all the unused commercial real estate. I guess i cant really know that but might also be worth considering CEOs lie through their teeth and typically dont give a shit about the grunts. Ive worked for many companies and seen people move into the role and go ‘total corpo’. ..and veteran ceos strip away employee benefits like quietly putting a ceiling of profit sharing while under the guise of ‘we added a base, so youll always get something :)’… this was also during a milestone of reaching 8bn in sales in <2yrs i want to say. Will never trust the bullshit spewing from a CEOs mouth.
