The article focuses on Productivity as a sole cause for employers insisting on RTO. Yet, In some cases, we have CEOs on video record stating how remote work options help them hire and retain top talent. I feel there are other factors such as government tax write offs/subsidies related to RTOs - eg employees cause retail around offices to have lowered traffic… hence lower sales tax revenues. Why won’t employers just come out and say it? Your guess is as good as mine.

My companies CEO just a few years ago was talking about just this - how remote was good because we could now pull from a greater pool of talent and how he couldn't imagine going back to full-time in office.

Complete about-take to now where the same person and all the execs can't help but mention at every opportunity how good being in-office is despite no company metric having improved since RTO, team morale and trust in execs at an all-time low, attrition higher than it basically has ever been and every company survey having outright negative results in every single metric.

It's the modern day 1984 in action in our lifetime. Gaslighting by execs who are dumb as two bricks.
