Not really. This is typical boomer behavior. They're old stupid brains can't wrap their heads around the idea that offices are outdated unneeded concepts in the new digital age. They actually think remote work is somehow losing money for them because workers aren't getting dressed up and commuting to the office. That somehow by not coming to the office workers are being lazy and not working hard enough for them. And their dumb boomer brains refuse to acknowledge the mountain of evidence that shows that remote workers are actually tremendously more productive than in-office workers

"Boomer"? I don't know if any of the people in that video was old enough to be a boomer. Heck, most of the execs were definitely under 50.

I don't think ageism is the answer to the problem. here.

There's ample evidence this is "stupid corporate culture" shit.

The people in the video are either actors or peons, the person who made the policy is the boomer and he is definitely old enough.

Add in a nice side of paranoia over how much of their 401k is tied to office real estate in some way.
