>And when your entire company works from home, as mine did, you develop a culture of acting like there is no better choice, and the benefits of your personal flexibility at home outweigh any problems at work... causing people to not fight very hard to fix problems, and to stay in those jobs longer than they should because of how comfortable the working situation is.

On the flip side, when your entire company works from offices, you develop a culture of acting like there is no better choice, and the resistance to change outweighs its obsoletence, causing people to not fight very hard to evolve the workplace, and to accept offices longer than they should.

One key difference being that, when you see people every day, it is much easier to measure, manage and mitigate this behavior.

I believe the parent comment was referring to actual material problems with work tasks, not a lack of "evolution," nor a theoretical obsolescence of the overwhelmingly dominant form of workplace organization.
