From talking to senior folks at tech companies, there's a real perception that, modulo the first few months of covid where there was not much to do hut work, productivity has suffered at their companies. In other circumstances (eg MOOC discussions) it is not controversial that many people have self control/motivation problems, so it's not super surprising that being less visible leads to less output. And while everyone likes flexibility as an employee, we are all familiar with the mythical man month and why saving some money on real estate or salaries doesn't help offset productivity losses. As long as these two beliefs remain in place, remote work will keep getting squeezed out at places that see themselves as being in competitive markets where they need to bring their A game.
