unobtrusive measures of narcissism via photo size, signature size, and relative compensation predicted greater resistance to remote work in public statements early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dude, come the fuck on. I take psychology as a serious science, so this methodology legitimately offends me: signature size as a metric for narcissism? Get the actual fuck out of here. This reeks of a paper in search of a conclusion.

I agree with your skepticism about the metric, but there's a gigantic example to be found in the oval office....

Could I then use this handwriting phrenology to claim that Jimmy Carter was a bigger narcissist than Barack Obama was a slightly bigger narcissist than Adolf Hitler?

Jimmy Carter's signature on a letter

Barack Obama's signature on a bill

Adolf Hitler's signature

I understand they're considering other factors, but this is so obviously fucking stupid.

I would love for Mike Judge to make Home Office Space about how Initec.AI (rebrand) is forcing workers back into the office

Millennials are at that stage for sure, with enshittification, AI, and the xxteenth generational crisis in a row.

With the new King of the Hill and even the Beavis and Butthead revival a bit ago, wouldn't be a bad time for it IMO

I feel they could rewrite the article title to be Fortune 500 companies share narcissistic traits and it would still be true.

Capitalists: people who need a peer reviewed study to realize they're assholes.

They want people fawning in person, remote fawning is not so moist xxx
