Curious to see as it seems to be a trend lately

Interesting article. The author cited a study by Stanford claiming that 100% remote work resulted in a small drop in productivity. I'm curious as to how they would determine that. My [annecdotal] experience has been that orgs that are fully in person are completely inept at measuring productivity. Remote work just shines a giant spotlight on existing broken processes.

I would say the same about "culture". Good culture is highly intentional and dragging a bunch of people into the office for cheap pizza is not "good culture." In my experience, whether everyone is remote or in person does impact the culture, but that impact is dramatically outweighed by the effort -- or lack thereof -- by leadership to foster good culture.
