"They should pretend to work somewhere else," says Elon Musk as he offers an ultimatum to his office employees to either return to the office or resign. And he's right. The reality is that the remote work thing has cost businesses in productivity—his move is one that may encourage others who have been reluctant to return workers to the office considering the "Great Resignation" trend. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. https://read.cash/@Porwest/they-should-pretend-to-work-somewhere-else-92f900cd

The employees must has a great decision with regards to that, they must respect the owners as they've being respected.
Not trying to set a fire here, but my company has seen a very different reality. We used to work as phone/video interpreters at an office and we made the shift to at-home-agents. There was an increase not only on the hours people are committing to work but also in the actual quality of the work (i.e. quality of the translation/interpretation). Thus, the company decided that the shift is now permanent.
No need to worry about setting fires. I like all viewpoints. Your case is extremely rare based on the numbers is all I will say.
Might have to do with the specificities of the job, to be honest.
It really depends, on a lot of things. The employee and employer mentality, the work type, the needed rest hours and when its needed, etc, etc. You can't say home office will be good for everybody. But you can't say the opposite too.
Actually I can say it when productivity numbers are falling. Remote work does not work and the only reason any companies are still doing it is because they are afraid they will lose employees as the "Great Resignation" continues. Some productivity is better than no productivity, but long term it is not sustainable.
As I said, it depends. Some of our employees work better from home, some don't. So we place them accordingly.
