I know it was only one piece of the article that talks about RTO, but as an aside, I don't think I've ever once in my life, in person or online, seen someone arguing for remote work that provided even a single piece of data, a single number, to back up their assertions. Their arguments instead just presuppose that RTO is awful and remote work is amazing, as if everyone "just knows" it. And apparently everybody that's involved with RTO is supposedly just a complete idiot that doesn't know anything about their business, or, as hinted at in the article, they're involved in some sort of grand conspiracy to force an "ineffective" RTO on workers for conspiratorial reasons.
