So... Completely anecdotal "argument" and not based on any kind of actual evidence. Many companies became much more profitable during the pandemic. I work at a bank for instance and 2020 + 2021 we're some of our best years in the last decade. Sorry but your comment reeks of middle management trying to justify their job.

Dude, in 2020-2021 you had free money pumping into the system. Everyone with a pulse made money. Doesn't mean you were more productive, once the stimulus stopped and interest rate went up, many companies found their pants were down.

It's when the times are lean that WFH needs to prove itself, not when there was money raining down from the sky.

Thank you!! Every time someone pulls this card I want to pull my hair out.

Oh you made record profits during the year everyone made record profits? Awesome. Oh people were trapped inside and had to use your product? Not correlation at all.

Wait, the US fed reserve and government put ten trillion dollars into the economy in a year. Nah that can’t be it, it’s because people worked in shorts.
