“The issue at its core is that bosses hiring people “full-time” often do so, as dramatic as it sounds, to capture their soul.”
The executive complaint is that remote staff finish their work in part-time hours and still get paid. That means the job got done. If the work fits in 25 hours, the other 15 were for the boss’s comfort. The return-to-office push is about watching people, not about what they ship.
