Love when the “we use data” people shut down discussions around hard metrics when it’s not convenient

An open argument doesn't automatically mean hard metrics.

Instead, both sides have to be discussing in good faith, curious about the problem, and open to a variety of conclusions.

If management has already made their decision, that's not going to happen. If employees have already decided to ignore anything that doesn't support WFH, that's not going to happen.

The greatest failure in modern debate is not honestly engaging with data contrary to the outcome one wants.
