~~Defeated~~ Mildly annoyed CEOs are now conceding hybrid working is here to stay
FTFT.
They have their wealth and their heads are still attached to their necks - there is nothing "defeated" about them.

defeated broke millennial more disaffected for not being able to get past article paywall :(
Worked for a multinational where they pushed their shared services centre into a 3 day/week RTO from fully remote, thinking this would improve things. It only exacerbated the staff turnover rate which at its peak hit 95% in some departments (I worked in Accounts Payable.)
When strategies like lengthening contractual notice periods, buying pizza on crunch weeks, extending RTO further and even a payrise (that was still below market rate) didn't work... They outsourced hundreds of jobs to India and laid tonnes of people off.
I escaped redundancy and went into a higher commercial finance role (internally) with a considerable pay rise. It's almost fully remote. The culture shock is baffling.
My wife works in a large suburban office park off a major highway. The company designs hardware so obviously they have people in the workshop on-site etc, but you could remove three of their office buildings and keep those people at home. She also flies out from the east coast to the west coast twice a year just to sit in a conference room for two days straight.. it's like no one has ever heard of Zoom.
I've been working from home for nearly a decade and a half now. It has enabled me to keep my job after moving halfway across the country. I have dinner ready when the wife and kids get home, the laundry done, and can go for a jog at the local park for a few laps when I want to and yet I still get shit done and do a great job.
It just absolutely baffles me that CEOs aren't chomping at the bit to downsize their office space footprints, get off those leases or sell off their properties, and let everyone work from home.
Long term leases and supporting commercial real estate, which they are likely invested.

You are so much more not-lazy than I am. Going for a jog after work? I salute you.
If I don't plan to do stuff after work then my weekends end up being a rush of errands and housekeeping.
