Too bad there's no evidence supporting the claim outside of the imagination of ignorant managers

Unless of course the culture they want to maintain is one of oppression and authoritarian hierarchical control

They don't like remote work because they gambled on expensive office parks and have to worry about written or audio recordings when they try to coerce working staff, if this change can be forced they need a better union
