      It’s gotta be. If they were concerned about collective action they would be all for remote work, it’s much harder for coworkers to bond or fraternize in remote positions.

        Yes and no. While it’s harder for workers to fraternize, I think they’re also concerned that more of that fraternization would take place through channels that they can’t observe.

      I think it’s the intersection of a lot of different issues (most things are), and most of them are about keeping workers beaten down and under control, but real estate is definitely a big part of the push we’ve seen in the media to suggest that remote work is somehow bad and going to go away.
