> Maybe I'm giving executives too much credit but I believe that, for the most part, they believe they're better managers when their employees are in the office. I don't know, I'd say a usual expectation of a worker is to learn how to adapt to a changing understanding of their work, but like, maybe I'm expecting too much. Why would I expect managers to keep up to date on management research, it's not like they're being paid for doing their jobs well or anything. Edit: fun fact, it's been so far my experience that C levels are surprised management research exists.
