Dave Ramsey is doubling down on his stance against remote work, joining the ranks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43306967/elon-musk-slams-work-from-home-as-messed-up-and-morally-wrong-meanwhile-remote-workers-quietly-sneak-in-three-day-weekends-every-week">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43757032/jamie-dimon-goes-off-on-return-to-office-critics-you-dont-have-to-work-at-jpmorgan">Jamie Dimon</a>, explicitly saying that in-person collaboration is the key to success.&nbsp;
On a recent episode of the &#8220;EntreLeadership&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuu7_xBcFDI">podcast</a>, Ramsey talked with a business owner who was worried about employees skipping lunch to leave work early. This led to a bigger conversation about workplace rules, leadership, and his strong opinion on remote work.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case Against Remote Work</h2>
Ramsey, the well-known personal finance guru and business leader, was direct when talking about the efficiency of remote work. &#8220;We know things move at the speed of trust, and it&#8217;s very difficult to trust someone sitting in their pajamas on a Zoom call,&#8221; he said.
He explained that at Ramsey Solutions, employees are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39945751/bosses-admit-using-return-to-office-mandate-to-get-workers-to-quit-survey">expected to work from the office</a> because it improves communication, creativity, and productivity. While he acknowledged that working from home isn&#8217;t &#8220;morally wrong,&#8221; he argued that it simply isn&#8217;t as effective as in-person collaboration.

His comments reflect a broader debate among business owners about the pros and cons of remote work. Some companies have embraced flexibility, while others, like Ramsey Solutions, insist that employees are more productive and engaged when they work in a shared space.
Ramsey also admitted that his stance has led some employees to quit. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had some people that said they wanted to work from home, and so they quit and went to work for somebody who wanted to work from home,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Which I guess makes me the crotchety old boss in this scenario, right?&#8221;
Despite acknowledging that his views aren&#8217;t popular with everyone, he stood by his belief that workplace structure is a key part of running a successful business. &#8220;It is my name on the side of the building, and it is my signature on the bottom of your freaking paycheck,&#8221; he stated.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Ramsey's remarks highlight the challenges many business owners face when balancing employee preferences with business needs. His message is that company culture and expectations should be firmly established, and employees who disagree have the option to seek work elsewhere.
His advice to the business owner on the podcast was to address the issue directly and set precise expectations for employees, telling them that he let this situation go unchecked for a while, which created a gap in their customer service. He should also tell them he has regrets about not addressing it sooner because now it might seem like he&#8217;s reversing his stance, but that's not the case.

A new book from Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) CEO and co-founder Alex Karp has a unique take on the company's role and how Silicon Valley lost its way. The timing of the book launch comes as Palantir stock has soared in the past year.
What Happened: Karp and Palantir's Head of Corporate Affairs Nicholas Zamiska co-authored the new book, "The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West," which serves as a manifesto of sorts about the data analytics company.
In the book, Karp and Zamiska say, "Silicon Valley has lost its way," as <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/23/palantir-ceos-new-book-says-silicon-valley-has-lost-its-way/?guccounter=1">reported </a>by TechCrunch.
The book <a href="https://techrepublicbook.com/?gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAA-5oD3wY2yT2cnjhljB0Fm1UdHSfg&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAq-u9BhCjARIsANLj-s3GDb2MOQ6TeLvEK0DnyL_wX06AkWQqEwpIreM1pRZsx7JtHMSobXYaAoTEEALw_wcB">dives </a>into the close relationship between technology companies in Silicon Valley and the U.S. government and how that helped with the growth of the area.
The duo said the government is now developing new technology with companies in the private sector and Silicon Valley is "focusing its energy on narrow consumer products."
Today's Silicon Valley looks different with dominance of the region belonging to online advertising and shopping, video-sharing platforms and social media, the duo writes.
"A generation of talent has been led astray. And a moment of reckoning has arrived for the West."
The book's description says items such as "timid leadership" and "intellectual fragility" have made the U.S. vulnerable to global threats.

Why It's Important: The book seeks to make a difference in the shift and regain the rise of Silicon Valley.
"The software industry should rebuild its relationship with government and redirect its effort and attention to constructing the technology and artificial intelligence capabilities that will address the most pressing challenges that we collectively face."
The authors say the government must also embrace the Silicon Valley mindset once again for both items to be successful.
The book's release timing comes after Donald Trump was sworn in as president in January.
Some reviewers of the book question the timing of the book and whether it came before Trump won the 2024 election.
Karp previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40795608/palantirs-s-p-500-journey-rebel-tech-giant-transforms-into-frankenstein-monster-powere"> addressed Palantir's unique path </a>of becoming a component of the S&amp;P 500. Karp&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o_lK7-133Q" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emphasized&nbsp;</a>how Palantir&#8217;s unique approach, centered on building exceptional products, has been key to its success.
&#8220;We built the best products in the world. We started off in one area of the West Clandestine Services. We migrated into the military, into Spec Ops in the U.S. commercial and into us into commercial globally,&#8221; Karp explained.
Karp said some analysts thought Palantir was a "Frankenstein monster powered by a freak show leader" before becoming a profitable company.
PLTR Price Action: Palantir stock closed Monday down 10.53% at $90.68. Palantir stock is up over 280% in the last year.
