this news story i'm watching is talking about a productivity dip in the US.
but we're talking +/- 5% differences here. why so zoomed in on the numbers?
if this is why executives are bringing people back from remote work, they're hallucinating.
@thor 3 months of a 1% productivity dip? My god, we're gonna lose literal dollars of value from this

Probably no going to lose a dollar as they save on utilities bill when office remains closed, but employees remain working from home paying for utilities themselves.
One of the theories is that management wants everyone back in the office as working from home makes them feel themselves useless garbage that contributes nothing ā and often it is the case š
