Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.”::“We’re here, we’re back. It’s working,” an Amazon Studios head said in a meeting, before acknowledging a lack of evidence.

    The people who claim “real estate value!” have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.

    The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:

    • shareholders don’t like unused assets, so they tell the ceo to “use it or lose it”
    • the people who make the decision have the type of extroverted personality where they actually do work better in the office and they can’t fathom people being different
    • the people who make the decision prefer to have the office full because it makes them feel more powerful. They can see the people they lord over.
