I agree with you that upper management is very often motivated by money and success, and I didn't say anything to the contrary. However, I was more getting at the fact that a lot of tech CEO types seem to have a belief that employees being physically present in an office is somehow related to "success" and "performance of the company," when I have yet to see any credible study or data that shows this. So I think that they believe they are acting in the interests of the company, but their beliefs don't seem to be grounded in empirical data.
