 Yep. #ReturnToOffice was never about productivity. #RemoteWork #FlexibleWork has obvious benefits that don’t affect work productivity; there never was a cogent argument about which arrangement is better for workers’ well-being while preserving or even increasing work output.

#RTO is about #CommercialRealEstate and the preservation of capital, and it is about satisfying the bosses’ lust for CONTROL. Not just control over workers’ productivity our output, but control over where they are, how they behave, where they can live, and what opportunities they can seek outside of their office. https://tech.lgbt/@deilann/110884985364053944
