    If the source of the article is suspect, where is the research by tech firms with a vested interest in cloud and communication platforms publishing counter studies?

    Probably swimming in their Scrooge McDuck piles of cash since WFH became more widespread?

    It’s the landlords losing money and the owner/C-suites not being able to see their minions in one place that are pumping out these articles.

      So I go back to my original question, is there a study that says remote work is more productive? Where is the science to back it up? The science should be out there if it is true.

      And are you honestly telling me that major companies wouldn’t love to sell all their real estate and go full virtual? Why not cut that business expense to save money? Major companies have cut everything else, why not cut this too? Why wouldn’t an activist investor start pushing to release this capital as a dividend?

      Hell, you can start depressing wages, since you can source your staff from lower QoL places and use those places as your bench mark for pay.
