“This is just a big Southern city, and people just adhere to tradition,” said Bill Larsha, an attorney for Memphis who was called back to the office more than a year ago — largely, he believes, to satisfy the constituents of the elected officials for whom he works. “I don’t think they take working from home as seriously as other cities.”
“They were losing those connections and the ability to have oversight,” said Mary Leigh Pirtle, a Memphis lawyer who represents employers. “Some of my clients have expressed that there may be some work-from-home fatigue happening, and the hope is that either moving them back into the office or toward hybrid work will relieve that.”
