A boss ordered all workers back to the office a year ago. He has no regrets.

Last summer, a Michigan company decided that all employees had to return to their desks five days a week. A year later, the executive who made that call said he had no regrets.

“Not for a second did I question that decision. Not for a single instance,” said Mat IchbiaCEO of a mortgage lender UWM Holdings Corp. The company employs more than 7,000 people in Pontiac, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. « Without a doubt, it was worth it. »
