    Work from home sounded like the future in 2020. But four years later, big companies are pulling employees back to the office — and not without reason. In this episode of Reading the Room, Gerard and Sara unpack the data, the cycles, and the real story behind remote work.

    👉 You’ll hear why entry-level remote roles are disappearing, how your productivity actually stacks up, and why promotions often go to people in the office.
