Okay so pre-Pandemic everyone and their mothers worked in the office, in the warehouse, in the factory and we went through how many recessions, and depressions during that time?

How many companies run by CEOs with people working down the hall from them have gone under, no longer exist, went the way of Lehman Bros. Countrywide Mortgage, FTX, Blockbuster Video, K-Mark, Sears, on and on.

If working in the office was a "guarantee" of greater productivity why do so many start-ups fail and small businesses go bust?

CEOs like to control people, they are largely compulsive and frankly, not very nice people. Musk makes the average CEO taskmaster look like a wuss. Demanding 100-120 hours a week or you fired is a GREAT way to circumvent the laws by making a large % of those people supervisors and such so they are on salary and not hourly. Are Space X and Tesla staff getting overtime? Because by my calculation working 120 hours a week puts people into what - triple time. Making $35/hour becomes $105 for 25+ of those hours. Yeah, I can see the profits soaring with a payroll like this.

Frankly, this is CEO double-speak. Get good talented people to feel obligated and in fear of losing their jobs - then give a rah-rah speech about how cool they are while Elon take a weekend off on his super yacht.

Great op/ed piece for the top 1% -- 👍👏
