Did you actually read the articles you linked, or did you just search for ones with titles that seem to support your point of view?
That first one cites a number of studies that don’t support your view. The first says that less that half of companies had higher productivity with remote employees. The second says a third of managers say productivity increased and 22% say it decreased. The third says it depends on the employee. There’s one that says remote employees are happier, which no one is disputing. There’s one that says hybrid gives a small benefit to productivity (which was my experience) while fully remote is a net negative, and so on.
Your second article mostly talks about working from home sometimes (e.g., “at least a few times a month”) and my whole point was that hybrid seems to be best overall.
Your last one isn’t data, it’s mostly anecdotal, but the overall thrust is that employees work longer at home, which isn’t the same as productivity and which I said in my comment.
None of these touch on my point that teams work more effectively and come up with better solutions when they work together in person. That’s my experience over the last four years, and my employees tend to say the same thing.
