At this point you can really just give a recipe for this type of article.

- business-brain CEO is flailing

- no better justification than "whiteboards" and "personal connection"

- leadership actually lied when they promised to support remote work

- trying to sell a hybrid setup as "balance" rather than half-assed and distracting

And the totally expected outcome which is of course that everyone ignores it, and a couple months later the CEO has to start counting to 3 in a parental tone for the umpteenth time.
