Fully remote companies? Four-day workweeks? Let’s cut the politically correct narratives. No one’s taking bread off my table with fairy tales that hurt business, results, salaries—and people’s growth.
Sure, you can point to exceptions. With a big enough sample, you’ll always find companies making it work. But the fact is, most—from giants like Google and Tesla to fast-growing startups like Bolt—are calling people back to the office.
At Relive, we go hybrid: two days remote. I get it—flexibility matters. But here’s what I’ve noticed recruiting lately: more and more people don’t want 100% remote. They want an office, a routine, a team, camaraderie.
The real perk now? A great hybrid setup with a cool space, good vibe, and strong culture.
As for four-day weeks—try competing in the U.S. against rivals working 5–6 days. Your “productivity theory” will quickly turn into lost market share. And when that happens, companies don’t grow—and wages don’t go up.
