Remote Work and the Default Human

Most return-to-office mandates assume a default type of person. Extroverted, neurotypical, comfortable in dominant-culture settings. That assumption drives policies that optimize for one kind of worker and quietly tax everyone else. The real question isn't "how do we get people back?" It's "how do we let all of our people do their best work?"
