That seems backwards, as most people moved to high cost cities in the first place to find work. Working from home means they can move to cheaper areas, and they arent going to fit your pay if you move, so they should be making city wages while living elsewhere.

why is linkedin doing a "study" ?read the article.
Your assuming they're is a reason their moving to rural areas instead of you're average town.

That seems backwards, as most people moved to high cost cities in the first place to find work. Working from home means they can move to cheaper areas, and they arent going to cut your pay if you move, so they should be making city wages while living elsewhere.It makes perfect sense once you consider that this bs study didn't control the causational factor. People in cities are more likely to have office jobs period. The study essentially says "Work from home benefits people with jobs that can be worked from home more than those with jobs that can't be worked from home."
Yeah, that definitely applies to me. A big portion of network engineering already involved designing things so that you can work from anywhere in the world. The covid lockdowns just proved our work in that regard, imo. There have been parts of the company I work for who have to go back into the office, but productivity in the network engineering teams didn't drop at all. So, at least for now, they're fine with us working remotely.Productivity didnt drop for anywhere or anyone. The push to get people back into offices is all about commercial real estate prices. They spent a fortune buying / leasing office space, and they dont want it to become worthless because its empty.

I dont think its fair to say that absolutely nobody was less productive as a result of working from home. Some people definitely were, either because of individuals or because of the job roles not being suitable for it.I meant as a trend. Revenue is up and all that. The work got done for 3 years of everyone working from home. If slacking off was some rampant problem, that wouldnt be the case.
However, youre largely right that commercial property investment is a huge motivator.

If a job can be worked from home, it's objectively better to have the option for full remote.

I dont know if it saddens me more if this is on purpose or a series of accidents.Its impressive either way.

Yeah, I apologize, I should have worded that better. I didn't mean to suggest that productivity generally dropped, but I'm running on fumes after a rough night of work.I didnt take it that way, no worries. I was just piling into what you said by saying productivity was steady if not up across the board.
It makes perfect sense once you consider that this bs study didn't control the causational factor. People in cities are more likely to have office jobs period. The study essentially says "Work from home benefits people with jobs that can be worked from home more than those with jobs that can't be worked from home."Bingo.
The article is bullshit, trying to trick people into turning against the objective good WFH trend.

It would be strange to say they have to go to the office because the people on the floor can't wfh. But, in a way, you could say it will further class divide.
