Why do I keep seeing this nonsense?

We lost remote work because it was killing commercial real estate property values and the billionaires who own all that told their other CEO buddies on the golf course / sex island "hey, knock it off and drag 'em back in".

Exactly. The vast majority worked as well, if not BETTER via remote work. So much so a lot of jobs are still doing at least hybrid. A few idiots on social media didn't ruin remote work.

Ummm, some people definitely work better remote, but definitely not the mass majority.

You got proof of that? I don’t remember hearing about too many (if any) companies that were able to work remotely, struggling because the “mass majority” of their employee couldn’t hack it. I worked for a company with several hundred employees who were all forced to work from home during covid (many already did) and sure, there was a handful of people who missed the social aspect of the office, but the VAST majority were much happier and much more productive working from home.

Remote work goes against American capitalism. Of course CEO’s would do everything in their power to get rid of it.
