It is about control, and corporate budget. Managers and corporate owners like to own property and office space. It gives them control, and allows them to spend the company money as a business expense. It also allows them to bloat the budget with unnecessary expenditures, like office furniture, lunch meals, or other things to take up office space. If corporations no longer require you to work in an office, middle managers will lose their budget spending powers, and the real estate market will take a massive hit.

I work in tech. My coworkers and I have metrics that we are graded on every year. When we were working remote only, we had top of the line metrics and were essentially breaking records quarter after quarter. When we moved to a hybrid schedule last year, our metrics dropped back to what they were before the 2020 pandemic. There are several reasons for this if you ask me. For one, it's agitating that I now have to commute 6+ hours a week. Instead of sleeping in an extra hour, I need to wake up earlier and sit in traffic to do the same job that we were all perfectly capable of doing at home. It is also significantly louder in the office and it is harder to concentrate. My boss has told me to use headphones as a remedy, but weren't we supposed to talk to each other more in person? Wasn't that the point of going in in the first place? Why go into the office for "collaboration" when I can't focus on my work and the advice I am given is to ignore everyone around me? Why bother coming in at all at that point? Regarding the example given in the video about a bad employee entering bogus information into sales force...you can just as easily be a bad worker in the office or at home. I've seen it first hand. If anything, I think it's easier to skate by in the office because you can "look" busy while not actually providing anything substantive. Working from home did not let that employee skate by for a year, it was bad policies or bad managers.

I also love being ignored by the boss who doesn't give a crap if the experts say an approach wont work - and then has me stay late to fix the thing I would have had done correct in the first place. Listening to speeches and going to meetings that should have been emails is practically a hobby of mine. I am so glad I got to do while in the office. The perks of having my in-office time consumed by feel-good tasks for the boss so that I can work unpaid overtime when the meetings taking 5 times longer than they should have is just such a character building experience. I'm practically two characters now because of it. I miss it all so, so, so much. So much.

As a result, his boss scored almost four additional hours of my husband's time which is now spent working. He grabs lunch from the kitchen and goes right back to his desk. My husband works more now, from home, than when he went into the office. All this to say.....he's always on video meetings since the rest of his team is in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Mexico. For a different twist...his boss (in Texas) cannot get work done from home so he rents an office space in a building...just big enough for him to have a desk and a few chairs behind closed doors. He works there during office hours then goes home and works some more. I guess it depends on the job and how disciplined you are.

I have personally seen productivity increase with remote work and there's plenty of data supporting this. Go look it up. If you must blame someone, blame corporate america.

Eventually after the 2nd to last contract he just decided to job change, went into IT and works remote. Still has his license to do construction work just doesn't use it, IT pays him more and he's at home with his kids.
