    “I think flexibility is here to stay,” she said.

    This is the problem with academics. They do a study, find something is logically better, then assume humans will act logically.

    Unfortunately, most CEOs don’t give a shit if their employees are more happy, productive, and less likely to quit if they work remotely. They just want to feel like they have control over people’s lives, which is why we’re seeing more return to office initiatives.

      As the other reader says, the point of studies is to develop objective truth.

      After one generation, this new objective truth starts getting ingrained in people’s minds. That’s usually because after one generation the people who held old beliefs are out of the scene and new young people who believe in obvious things come to be part of the scene.

      That’s how society changes over time. Not people changing their minds, but new people with a different way of seeing the same things.
