keeping us at work and in the office was only ever partially about "productivity"

stressed and depressed worker drones who have no confidence and are afraid for their job are more submissive and obedient

it doesn't matter how many studies are published about productivity of happy workers--for most people, the people who own you will never agree to a 4 day work week and only ever allowed wfh because it was ordered by government.
