Told you.

"Leadership or loneliness? Making sense of why executives are eager to get employees back in the office."

"The Future Forum, developed by workplace-messaging platform Slack, surveyed more than 10,000 workers globally in the summer of 2021 and found an “executive-employee disconnect” with regard to returning to work. Three-quarters of all executives reported they want to work from the office three to five days a week, compared with about one-third of employees. Among executives who have primarily worked completely remotely through the pandemic, 44% said they wanted to come back to the office every day. Just 17% of employees said the same."

Because.... it is sort of pathological. They brought everyone back in December, and only managers were not wearing masks. Which was the weirdest thing. But how can you figure out who's better than you if everyone is working from home?

I give you three scenarios for why this is happening.

1. Middle managers are the most likely to not be needed.

2. Corporate espionage. The longer people stay at home, the more company secrets are not in their complete control.

3. Real estate.

4. Real estate.

5. Real estate.

It was sort of a marvel watching corporate tycoons try to convince people that employees were sad working at home. That was a whole lot of FUD.
