When the pandemic came to an end, many people who had been working from home assumed they would be allowed to maintain that habit at least a few days a week.
But today in the U.S., a third of companies have forced everyone back to the office full time and have banned remote and hybrid work.
Some leaders say they insist on full-time in-person work because it boosts productivity, despite clear evidence that it does not.
Others claim it’s about collaboration, creativity or culture.
Our new research reveals that the objection to any work from home is more likely to be driven by something else entirely: ego.
It’s purely an attempt by those in charge to elevate their status in the workplace. (NYT)
