Your WFH Policy Might Be a Company Age Problem

Nick Bloom's latest LinkedIn data shows work-from-home rates are 50% higher at firms founded in the last decade — and 25% higher when the CEO is under 30. That's not a generational preference gap. It's a structural one baked into how companies were built.

Chuck and Jenni dig into what this really means: the promotion penalty hiding inside remote-first firms, why CEOs in their 50s experience the office completely differently than everyone else, and whether the parallel rise in AI adoption at younger firms is creating yet another workplace divide.

For IC practitioners: if your org was founded pre-2000 and your CEO is 55+, your comms strategy is probably still defaulting to in-person assumptions. This data might be the nudge worth flagging upward.
