Remote Culture War Has Begun, Executives Pumping Out "Back to Work" Propaganda
I believe this narrative is being funded by the commercial real spectate industry.  They are absolutely fucked.  Like Wile E Coyote running over a cliff, they are desperate to not look down.  In December 2019, I asked some guys in wealth management, what’s a hot tip, and they were all about Commercial Real Estate, it never goes down!  I laughed, but then wondered, what would make it go down?  Anyway, that question is now answered.<p>I’ve been working with a company that have done studies on remote work, at the beginning 4% of employees wanted to work from the office 100% of the time.   6 months later it was 2%.<p>Problem #1, Most managers don’t know how to manage a remote team and their employer still hasn’t trained them.<p>Problem #2, people new to the workforce are most likely to want to come into the office some of the time as they are struggling to figure out the culture and finding help and mentoring.  This is actually another failing of employers.
