Where managers and employees disagree about remote work

Update: Here's what "return-to-office" looks like around the world

• Disney CEO Bob Iger has instructed corporate employees to return to the company’s offices four days a week beginning March 1st. Recruiters are caught between companies and workers they’re wooing, trying to coax more flexibility from employers while attempting to win over candidates who may be skeptical of non-remote roles.
• News Corp. CEO Robert Thomson sent a staff memo urging employees to come to the office more, saying that “subtleties of body language and the nuances of knowing glances” were missing when they worked from home.
• New York City mayor Eric Adams is pushing for zoning changes that would enable the city to more easily turn unused office space into as many as 20,000 housing units.
• A drop in daily commuters—and the revenue their fares provided—has left public-transit systems in several major cities scrambling to find new funding sources.
• In four years, over 2,000 people have moved to Tulsa under its Tulsa Remote program that pays remote workers $10,000 to relocate to the Oklahoma city. Participants have higher real incomes (after living costs) than before moving, and researchers estimate that every dollar spent by the program generates $13 for the local economy.
