"but almost every study shows it increases productivity and life satisfaction."

They don't. Those studies were crap!

None of them are long term and all take place during COVID or after which means the results are basically meaningless.

Edit: it's amazing how I'm downvoted but yet no one can prove me wrong when it should be easy just link a good study but so far the best I got is studies from companies that sell work from home products....

I like his “I didn’t go to school and took a vocational job route instead that doesn’t let me work from home, so, I’m going to be a whinny bitch about all the people that did and can work from home”

Every time one of these CEO's opens their mouths on almost any topic, all they do is demonstrate how utterly out of touch they are with at least 90% of the population. So much so, I think they're intentional rallying cries for other corporate pukes to unify against the people they exploit. They're trying to control the narrative and generate talking points for their various bought-and-paid-for media outlets to repeat ad nauseum.

90 min? When I was doing it I ran in to people on the Amtrak who were riding in from Sacramento to either the Berkeley station to catch a bus or BART in to the city or taking it all the way to Santa Clara. That's almost 3 hours one way assuming the train isn't late or gets stopped due to someone on the tracks (dead or alive). And, yeah...Amtrak...that never happens.

Hmm... I've been working remote for 3 years now. There were some tech problems for a few weeks at the start of the pandemic. Haven't really seen any problems in the last couple years. This sounds more like a Sam's Club problem than a whiny crybabies problem to me.
