If remote work is the answer, why are most tech companies laying off people?

Nearly all tech companies are reevaluating the size of their workforces in a slowing economy, with most imposing hiring freezes and laying off 1000s of their employees.

As soon as Elon Musk took over Twitter, he laid off half of its workforce and asked the other half to show up at the office, "Musk reversed the company's existing work-from-anywhere policy and asked Twitter employees to report to offices — though some exceptions could be made."

This move is considered hostile by most remote workers who prefer to work at home, citing personal anecdotes to show they are more productive away from the office, even though most tech executives who allow their employees to work remotely are laying off most of their workforce.

Show up to work or stay home.

Musk doesn't mind if you want to work from home, he wants you to work at least 40 hours at the office, and you can work another 40 hours at your house if you desire.

You can't claim Musk doesn't know what's best for his newly acquired company, Twitter…
