The war on WFH | Blackstone boss is latest CEO to claim remote staff 'don't work as hard'

Remote workers are choosing to stay away from the office because they believe it allows them to be less productive and save money, a major executive has said.

During a panel discussion at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Steve Schwarzman, the CEO of the investment firm Blackstone Group, stated that many employees have opted to continue working remotely because "they didn't work as hard, regardless of what they tell you."
