In their plaintive call for a return to the office, CEOs reveal how little they are needed

The case of remote work shows that the CEO class as a whole failed to pick up an innovation yielding massive benefits before it was forced on them by the pandemic, and have continued to resist and resent it ever since.

Hey, look! It's the whole of what's going on here. The bosses were forced into letting us have a thing, and, as a result, they will never accept us having it, and will do everything they can -- including destroying the business, if they're privately held -- to take it back.

They lost a minuscule slice of power over our lives, and they will never forgive us for that.

remote work involves a previously unthinkable change in the way productive activity is structured and organised. If workers can do without the physical presence of managers, perhaps they don’t need managers at all

There it is. They want workers back in the office so that managers have some way of justifying their existence.

Funny how when it was what the business needed, during lockdowns, work from home was great. What changed?
