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.
Result
The claim is an absolute that the public record does not support.
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.
FALSE means the claim conflicts with the pinned sources.

3-line evidence
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.
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.
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.”
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.
