How do you know that no one can measure ?

Maybe all the big companies have measured and all concluded that on average WFH is less productive.

Individual productivity of office workers is nearly impossible to properly measure but aggregate productivity is easier though certainly far from perfect.

They say they don't have it, but tell people to do it anyway.

Because they haven't. Again, every study on this issue hasn't shown a drop in productivity.

And yet curiously neither the companies themselves nor any outside actor has been able to produce any of those measurements supporting such conclusion after years of trying.

I guess every company, government agency, and private entity in the world are all colluding to hide the evidence of lower WFH productivity despite desperately, desperately wanting to show that that's the case to support their RTO demands. Who can stop this nefarious conspiracy?
