stop making the conversation about work-at-home about productivity

eliminating non-essential worker commutes means less fossil fuels wasted

remote policies increase access for disabled people, especially with chronic illness that flares

LGBT folks and PoC experience less bigotry and it's easier to report bigotry when they do

do some people want hybrid? do some people want on-site? sure

but stop pretending the discussion was about productivity or what employees want

it's about real estate portfolios

Just to add my 2 pennies worth:
I was disabled for about 10 years (I'd call myself in remission now). I was under 30 and retired from the Police because there was nothing I could physically do from home. The doctors agreed I could work, but it should be from home. I was without a job for 3 years because of that.

I tired to learn IT skills so I could WFH, but without a degree, I was scuppered.

If WFH was then what it is now, I wouldn't have left my family in debt.
