KPMG has released their CEO Outlook report for 2024 [PDF] and we’ll be completely honest, we couldn’t care less about half of this crap. Economic outlook? Pfft. Generative AI? *jerking motion* Call us when companies are actually using it in earnest and not just telling survey takers they plan to invest in it.
This bit though:
83 percent of the 1,345 CEOs surveyed expect a full return to office over the next three years, up from 64 percent in 2023. That number increases to 87 percent for CEOs in the 60-69 age group because boomers are actually the worst.
Male CEOs are more gung ho (the spellcheck wants to correct this to “bunghole” and honestly…) on a full return to office compared to their female counterparts: 84 percent of them expect a full return to office within three years while 78 percent of female CEOs feel the same.
Guess the era of the employees having all the power is gone, or at least that’s what CEOs think. Was nice while it lasted.
