> In nearly every case of RTO, there was no recorded dip in productivity associated with the move to remote work.

I am extremely skeptical of this. On the contrary there is a mountain of direct evidence that people barely work when working from home. People have been openly bragging both on the internet and in person about how they do laundry and watch netflix and mow their lawns while looking productive

All you need to do is look at the crowds in the park or lines at the grocery store on any given friday to gauge how much work is being done on wfh days

And I am extremely skeptical of your "direct evidence" (source?). Most jobs are not measurable, they are more like N amount of employees collectively moving a target / goal. And just like in school projects there are the lazies of course, but again, direct measurability is mostly an illusion sold by consultants that get sweet money by lying to executives and telling them what they want to hear.

Consider that you might be in the bubble of yes-people.

Work from home allowed many people to find their exact productive schedule, motivators and rhythm. But we can't have that, 8h or leave!
