Watch everyone forget that correlation doesn't equal causation when it confirms their biases.

I can only speak for myself. I work a hybrid schedule. I am far more productive when I work at home because I am much more comfortable and much less distracted.

For me it is the other way around. At home too much distraction. In the office I can focus.

Why is why flexible hybrid schedules are the ideal. Let workers pick what work best for them.

Usually the same for me, although I can still be productive at home.

However, zoom meetings are terrible. May as well just have a phone call. But you can't have 6 people hash out a problem online like you can around a conference table.

In the pre COVID days when office was expected, I only was in the office 3.5 days a week. But it worked because everyone was there most of the time and for important meetings. It all broke with fully remote hiring during the pandemic. For those 3 days I'm in, only 33 percent of the team is in. What's the point at that point when I can't find a conference room to take constant remote calls. Hybrid everything is the worst of both worlds.

It strongly suggests either causation (WFH -> RG), reverse causation (RG -> WFH), or common causation (Some other factor ->WFH&RG).
