Re moving to be closer to friends - I have just done this! I was really lucky that I could bring my job with me (I’ve moved to a different one of my organisation’s “hub offices”) and I found people most understanding when I explained it in terms of “closer to home, after lockdown, etc”.
Thanks for replying. I don’t agree that the office is persisting because firms have office leases though. CEOs and middle managers want to control workers, if it was just about the contract they’d take the hit.
Agreed! I was referring specifically to the Media Coverage being influenced and bias.
On Leadership control, we are also singing from the same hymn sheet. I was going to work on a second piece on that topic - but actually, I think I will give more airtime to those leaders who believe in and already enable Remote Work via their core Organisational Design and Values. Better to give them the spotlight, not the old dogs that may never learn any new tricks ;)
Who is the economist that you are quoting at the top? " If you have a friend that you see on most days, it’s like earning $100,000 more each year." Thanks for your work!
Your question was a good one. I've gone through all of the original papers cited in the Matt Lieberman book. The money amount is a few years out of date and deserves to be updated. I'll post about it next week. Thanks for the prompt to dig deeper!

Remote work is a gender issue. The Patriarchy enforcement of RTO, is also part of the picture.
I also had a rant about biased media coverage;

I thought I’d put this link in. https://qz.com/141237/social-connections-matter-more-than-wealth-and-your-brain-knows-it
I’ve actually got the Matt Lieberman book it comes from so I’ll see if he gives the source
