Eric Schmidt works remotely.


And COVID let everyone try working the way VCs always have. Unsurprisingly everyone liked it.


Precisely my observation of the capital vs labor aspect of COVID.

We all got a taste of the flexibility the C-suite has always exercised, and they don't like that. Now that the job market has turned enough they are trying to take it away as hard & fast as possible.

It would take a serious downturn to kill it completely and even then I doubt it. While you don't see a lot of arcade games in offices anymore, they didn't get people back to wearing suits...

As soon as you get into competition for talent, in-office 2~3-day vs 4-day, or hybrid vs full in-office will quickly become a selling point again.
