No they don't. Stop peddling the narrative that corporations want you to push.

This. Large corps make large donations to media houses with the unwritten understanding that the corps will then get some articles out there which can be labeled as "non-sponsored" since technicaly those donations did not pay for any "specific" media articles.

This headline is dishonest at best. The study it is based on [1] claims:

- That 24% number is for youngsters who would like to work from home 100% of the time.

- Right next to that number the study finds that the "average desired number of days to work from home" is 2.57 in that age bracket.

- The study also finds that there's a significant gap between the desired amount of WFH by employees vs what the employers offer.

Even if we accept the study's findings at face value (though it smells quite biased to me), the findings don't support the headline at all.

there is decent support for this claim - remote is best suited for mid career professionals with high quality, safe and controlled home environment + pre-built in person professional networks.

we might be moving towards some age stratified businesses - mid career, remote onlys vs on-premise early entry
