    The Spin

    Narrative A

    Technology and culture are constantly evolving, but not at the same rate. While we have the technology to work remotely, permanent work-from-home policies are not ideal. Returning to the office is critical for workplace culture, long-term productivity, networking, and training. Remote work should be an exception, not an expectation.

    Narrative B

    Remote work is a win-win for employers and employees. It allows companies to downsize and cut costs on rent and utilities, while giving staff flexibility. Forcing employees back into the office will only hurt productivity and morale.
