When workers aren’t at their desks, they may as well be not working at all. That’s what many anti-remote CEOs have said, in one way or another, since the earliest pandemic lockdowns. But media titan, billionaire, and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg took it a step further last weekend during an interview with Mo Rocca for CBS Sunday Morning segment. They’re not just not-working; remote workers are essentially on vacation.
“If you think [work] can be done at home, I don't know,” Bloomberg said. “But every golf course that I've heard about in the last three years has had record summers, okay? It is funny, but it's tragic.”
