Are remote workers more productive? That's the wrong question
- phone8675309 3y agoThis discussion will center solely on productivity so long as the expectation by investors in publicly traded companies is for irrational, infinite, quarter over quarter growth. A company would happily trade everything else for that.
- ttyprintk 3y agoThe truth is buried in the middle, “plenty of those urging RTO, including the head of the world’s largest commercial landlord, have a vested interest in people returning to commercial real estate properties and patronizing the businesses on which those properties depend. They have a financial stake in preserving white-collar business districts even when the data doesn’t support the contention“ Remote workers are like office workers, they don’t get to see the relationship between company capital and real estate like a CEO or board. It’s not irrational to weigh losing 30% of your work force to safely tell the board that you’ve secured the purpose of an expensive real estate asset.
