Dropbox's CEO said business executives are pushing too hard to get people to return to the office.
"They keep mashing the go back to 2019 button, and they see it's not working," Drew Houston told The Verge.
He said workers value remote work and not being tied to a tech hub more than lavish office perks.

Dropbox cofounder and CEO Drew Houston said he views his employees like customers, and that means giving them what they want — which isn't in-person work.
