Malcolm Gladwell, who works remotely and starts his day on the sofa with a laptop, says it's not in people's 'best interest' to work from home

“If you’re just sitting in your pajamas in your bedroom, is that the work life you want to live?” Gladwell said on the podcast. “We want you to have a feeling of belonging, and to feel necessary. And if you’re not here, it’s really hard to do that.”

Gladwell said he’s “frustrated” with business leaders who are unable “to explain this effectively to their employees.”
