Because so so many people have been linking to it, and I've got a gift code: New York Times: The Secret Reason Bosses Want Everyone Back in the Office, Every Day of the Week, Adam GrantMarissa Shandell and Courtney Elliott. The money paragraph:
Over the past six years, weve studied why some leaders continue to support remote work, while others resist it. We surveyed thousands of executives, middle managers and frontline supervisors on a host of personality traits. When we later asked them about their stances on hybrid and remote work, their answers didnt correlate with how much they trusted their employees or how much they loved being around people. The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism the tendency to be self-centered and entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status and the more they favored return-to-office mandates.
