Business leaders are resorting to desperate measures to entice workers back to the office, my colleague Emma Goldberg reported recently.
“It’s been three years of scattershot plans for returning to in-person work — summoning people in, not really meaning it, everybody pretty much working wherever they pleased,” she wrote.
One idea I haven’t seen floated is to offer screenings of the series “The Bear,” whose second season was released in June on Hulu.
When it debuted last year, “The Bear” was praised for its authenticity, for depicting the chaos of a real restaurant kitchen.
Hands are burned, fingers slashed; the pace of the prep rush turns the kitchen staff into sweating, shouting bodies, meat cooking meat.” Hardly a convincing argument for in-person work.
