> Wrong

There is no 'wrong' with deciding remote/office/hybrid per se; the reasons for deciding it can be though. I mean they could just say; I prefer the office and that's it; the author is the CEO and decides. The reasons this article states are just more of a management thing than a remote work thing. The CEO/author seems to 'have tried' some type of remote work mimicking an office and wanting the same (overbearing; the reason I cannot sit in an office; it's not the office, it's the management; offices an sich are fine) control of an office situation where you can grab someone at a whim and ruin their productivity for that day.

Remote work requires everyone to change their mindset in the company; it does not mean you can sit in your underwear all day and play with your kids & dogs most of the time while working here and there a few minutes. It also doesn't mean, as a manager, that you can just hit Zoom every 5 minutes and get frustrated when there is no answer immediately. It requires a different way of working; you cannot mimic the office.
