I would agree with him to a point. Productivity on full remote workers can be difficult to track and is likely not higher than in office. When I worked from home full time, it was more difficult to maintain productivity as much as while in office. Also, the psychological benefits of in office work definitely come into play here. I believe a hybrid approach is the best and has many benefits (which I won't go into for brevity)

How so?

If you cannot track the productivity of workers without having to constantly monitor them in person, that is a symptom of unclear objectives and goals, and that is a bigger problem than having people working from home.

Productivity is exceptionally easy to track. Work is either delivered on time or its not.

Micromanaging and workplace surveillance on the other hand are indeed harder to perform on remote employees, and I love that for middle managers.

I agree for me personally. However I truly believe some people do better work 100% remote or fully in office. I don’t understand why it needs to be the same for everybody.
