"The researchers tracked monthly surveys of 8,000 U.S. workers aged 20 to 64 across 2025 and concluded that when it comes to flexible working, two things are consistently true: employees at younger firms, and under younger CEOs, spend significantly more time working from home. "First, employees work from home more often at younger firms-almost twice as often at firms founded after 2015 as compared to those founded before 1990," the researchers wrote. "Second, employees work from home more often at firms with younger CEOs.""
"It's why the researchers concluded that work from home is poised to make a comeback, despite the likes of Amazon and JPMorgan currently mandating a full-time office return. As older leaders retire, the days of bums on seats five days a week are likely to fade with them. In other words, your future commute may depend less on what HR says and more on the birth year of the person in the corner office."
Monthly surveys of 8,000 U.S. workers aged 20 to 64 across 2025 indicate that younger firms and younger CEOs correlate with substantially more remote work. Employees at firms founded after 2015 work from home almost twice as often as those at firms founded before 1990. Younger CEOs demand fewer in-office days, with staff under twenty-something leaders working from home the most. As older leaders retire and younger executives take top roles, remote work is likely to expand again. Workers seeking long-term flexibility should prioritize employment at younger companies led by younger bosses.
