I worked at a different company that was big on “data driven decisions”. They had tshirts made that literally said something like"data > feelings"

Before the pandemic, someone mentioned that studies were showing 4 day work weeks were effective and made people happier. The CEO just said “Yeah we’re not doing that.” Didn’t read the article or the study. Just nah.

After the pandemic, they were making people go back into the office. Same energy.

So what I’m saying is management and leadership are often just gutfeel idiots. Expensive babies.
