Bet a lot of CEO’s thought computers were a fad too.
Computers increase productivity. Some studies showed a decrease in productivity between 8% and 19% when transitioning to a work-from-home setting. Those are the studies that CEOs will cite when justifying their decisions.

My point
your head
I understood it. I just disagreed with it. They’re just not comparable.
Computers improve productivity at the cost of the business, while work-from-home impairs productivity at the cost of the business.
Had work-from-home shown an increase in productivity, it would likely be more readily embraced by businesses.
Ugh
Remote work will be dead, but outsourcing jobs to people on the other side of the globe will be as popular as ever. It only affects culture and productivity when the price of labor isn’t cheap apparently?
lol . No fucking way . They say that but they really mean “of course you can work from home over the weekend, we can’t wait for the issue to be fixed on Monday.”
No remote work would kill almost any office job at this point which now requires off hours response.
They mean remote work is fine as long as you login after getting home from the office.
Oh is that supposed to be a threat?
