    Companies do not use valuable metrics to run their business as much as they claim (or tell themselves) and this is no different.

    Remote and flexible work is more productive, gives a company access to better talent and improves retention. The metrics are clear.

      Edit: Four day workweek, not four hour workweek. I wish.
