> False. Remote work did not kill productivity across every major company. Public data and research show varied results, and a major-company randomized study found no performance loss from hybrid work.

## Claim
Remote work killed productivity across every major company.

## Verdict
- Label: FALSE
- Source match: Weak
- Confidence: High
- Score: 10
- Meaning: The claim is an absolute that the public record does not support.

## Copy-Ready Comeback
FactPage check: FALSE. — Remote work did not “kill productivity across every major company”; the public record shows mixed results and clear counterexamples.

## Bottom Line
False. Remote work did not kill productivity across every major company. Public data and research show varied results, and a major-company randomized study found no performance loss from hybrid work.

## Evidence Lines
1. No economy-wide productivity collapse - U.S. labor-productivity data did not show a universal collapse after remote work expanded. Productivity moved unevenly by sector and year, which is not the same as remote work killing output everywhere.
2. A major-company counterexample exists - A large randomized study at Trip.com found hybrid work did not reduce performance and improved retention. That single major-company counterexample is enough to defeat the phrase “every major company.”
3. Remote work effects vary by job - Research on remote and hybrid work is mixed. Outcomes depend on job type, management, coordination costs, and how productivity is measured. Some firms report benefits, some costs, and many effects are not public.
