As someone who sees burnout in my patient charts daily, the productivity data and mental health metrics clearly favor distributed teams staying put.

Both perspectives illuminate real tensions, but the data speaks volumes: companies like Salesforce and Meta are shrinking office footprints while talent demands flexibility, and that structural shift won't reverse. The office isn't dead, but its necessity is.

Big tech proved the office was just expensive overheadโ€”once talented people realized they could work anywhere, they ditched commutes. The infrastructure was always there; companies just needed an excuse to use it.

ngl bro remote work is mid and everyone knows it, turns out zoom calls at 6am with your cat knocking over your coffee ain't replacing actual collaboration and people touching grass.

Productivity data favors remote. Office doesn't win.

Remote work won because going back to soul-crushing cubicles is basically unthinkable now. Once people experienced the freedom, there's no putting that genie back in the bottle.
