I'm concerned that execs and managers believe discussing thing in-person is more productive when there's lots of evidence that suggests wfh or hybrid is comparable or better.

Two years ago there's wasn't enough data to know what would work long term. There is now.

A mistake a lot of people make is thinking that which is “better” or “more productive” matters in every situation.

All that matters is what the current decision makers want to do — and of course that depends on their motivations. Unless you understand their motivations, how can you say what is “better”?
