The bosses don’t want remote work to be seen as good it doesn’t fit their return to the office narrative.

It's a countervailing force. You can tell because when people are challenged to say explicitly how they think it's made them more productive they say stuff like, "I can get the laundry done in the afternoon" or "it's easier to pick my kids up from daycare early" or "I can sleep in because I don't have a commute."

Here is one: i don't have to commute for 2 hours each day and out of those hours I spend 1.5 hours working. So i work 5*1.5 morr hours in any given week.

Ok so perhaps it’s different things to different people then. I find that I’m more productive with work tasks - my commute time is work time now, and no walk up distractions means I’m getting through work quicker.
