It’s not just boomers. The youngsters with their agile open-plan environments are just as bad.
I work in IT consulting. When it’s the best solution for my clients, I propose work from home and have been doing so for most of a decade.
Every. single. time. the proposal has been shot down, it’s some Boomer midlevel or higher manager who doesn’t get technology coming up with a BS reason or worse, no reason at all, to prevent even a trial WFH pilot project. Gen X and later *can* be convinced to at least have a trial, but it’s the Boomers who simply refuse.
