The study was conducted by a for-profit company that describes themselves as "the foremost authority on hybrid, remote, and full-time office policies for thousands of companies across the world", and they produced a report praising the benefits of flexible work.
Up next, the world's leading ice cream manufacturer releases a study about how eating ice cream is really healthy for you.
I mean, I can go through the actual study and judge it for what it is (they force me to enter an email to read it, which I'm not going to do), but the bias is so strong to begin with that I feel like it'd be a waste of time. Why couldn't Bloomberg be basing their article off of studies done by impartial parties rather than a study done by the most biased party you could possibly come up with?

Isn't this true of other stuff like fibre and proteins as well? Doesn't something substantial that you eat with the sugar/carbohydrate help attenuate what would otherwise happen had you eaten it in isolation?
I think it only works for certain kinds of people. I've been working remotely for 10 years. It has worked very well for me. But I've also founded multiple startups and work well independently.
I've noticed that many people just aren't disciplined enough to work remotely. Too many distractions, not enough socializing, or they just need the office to keep them honest (IE: actually working).
It also doesn't work well for junior employees that need lots of hand-holding.
