The datapoint that the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office while the bottom 12% of remote workers underperform the bottom 5% in-office seems intuitive.

If you’re a top performer then gaining 1-2 hours a day from not commuting makes you more productive. If you’re the kind of person who needs help to get the basics done, then being on Slack versus in the office is worse.

RTO is penalizes top performers due to underperformers not being able to handle the freedom.

Leaving aside the question of how performance is measured, which is a weird concept with many flaws: I'm intrigued by the very low performers, who again do better from home than in the office.

@passenger @carnage4life There are a number of possible explanations for this, like neurospicy people being less stressed and more focused when working at home.

That's a good point. My experience of working with neurospicy people is that they're usually high performing, but that may simply be because of my field.
