I've had this conversation with quite a few people recently. As I say to them, once the genie is out of the bottle it's hard to put it back in again. People will simply go to companies who allow them to be remote or more flexible.
I mean, if these CEOs had even one strong argument (apart from the old and dubious "it increases collaboration" whereas everybody knows it's all about control), we could have a normal conversation as adults. Instead, if I want to change a job, I filter by "remote positions only" and that's the end of the story.
