A hard truth is that if you see an executive pushing return to office, you know one of two things about them. One of the following is true.
-
They are terrible at finance and don't understand the sunk-cost fallacy. They have to keep using that building they bought; they've spent so much on it and simply can't bring themselves to sell it.
-
They're a sexual molester. They're someone that uses the power of their position to coerce sex out of their employees. Fucking their employees is their primary motivation for not retiring early right now. You can't coerce your secretary to give you a blowjob over Zoom.
That's really it. They're either bad at business or they're a sexual predator. If you see an executive pushing return to office, be sure to ask them which one of these they are. Because they're definitely one or the other.
- Tradition.
- Belief that work-from-home is less efficient.
So
- They're morons and terrible at business.
- Remote didn't work as well for the company.
- Remote didn't work as well for any number of people at that company.
Found the executive.
Those are both covered under 'bad at business'.
Honestly I think your first point is just a subset of something larger and even more basic - "we've always done it this way. Change is scawwy. Different bad. Are you implying I was wrong before?" Etc.
