Experts believe this hard-line approach reflects a desire for control and a "command-and-control" management style. While some CEOs, like Elon Musk and Jamie Dimon, are pushing for in-person work due to their personal preferences and the need to assert control in uncertain economic times, experts argue that this approach may ultimately harm employee retention and company performance. Despite the power dynamics at play, many believe that companies will eventually have to adapt to the changing workplace landscape and prioritize employee satisfaction and data-driven logic.
