Silicon Valley companies are doubling down on their efforts to get employees back to the workplace.
The post-pandemic return to the office is proving to be turbulent. Harsh words have been exchanged on both sides.
Using an expletive, Tesla CEO and Twitter owner Elon Musk told CNBC in a recent interview: “I’m a big believer that people are more productive when they’re in person. People should get off their goddamn moral high horse with their work-from-home bulls—.” “The amount of time you spend at home is inversely correlated to your success professionally and romantically. You need to be out of the house,” said Galloway, who wrote the bestselling 2017 book “The Four,” about Alphabet, Amazon, Apple and Facebook.The great disconnect But there’s a disconnect between employers and employees in terms of both expectations surrounding remote and hybrid work, and productivity — or lack thereof, as Musk contends — of people who work from home, even part-time.
“Employers need to distinguish between two key questions: ‘Does remote work work? And does remote work work for my portfolio?’” “Allowing an equal mix of office and remote work seems to be a strategy that is losing favor,” CBRE found. Some 45% of respondents in its most recent survey supported a mostly or fully office culture, compared to 37% in 2022.
Does productivity really suffer? Are people really slacking off when they work in their pajamas? Ask the millions of people who worked from home during the pandemic, take note of the 62.5 million fewer commuting hours per workday, and check out this Stanford University study involving 16,000 workers.
