In defense of those in senior management, they really like the huge bonuses & exercised stock options they get for themselves when cutting labor costs & boosting stock prices.

But WFH? Less control! No easily tangible up-side! Workers might be happier? So what, how do you quantify that and what will it do to their bonuses, and OMG how can you trust the unwashed masses of anyone below C-levels & their direct reports? /s

Herd mentality. Where the herd animal is a Lemming.
