CEOs Are Using Return to Office Mandates to Mask Poor Management

Yeah, no. We have tight deadlines that we're expected to hit and clear milestones for reaching those deadlines. If we miss them hundreds of people throughout the organization will know and ask why, and multi-million dollar sales contracts go out the window.

Ok, but unlike the person I was replying to you seem to be arguing against giving people the benefit of the doubt.

I'm arguing against shrugging and saying "it's because of remote work" when your project is falling apart. Give the benefit of the doubt when there is doubt, but once there's no doubt then build the structure you need to make progress.

Remote != Completely unstructured

I was hoping you’d get a response to this. I was confused too.
