    Corrected 8 fabricated citations, the highest density in this fact-check batch: an entirely fabricated 2022 Stewart Butterfield/Harvard Business Review joint study; a fabricated Aaron De Smet/McKinsey Quarterly organizational-resilience study; fabricated Spotify, HubSpot, Toyota, and Buffer corporate case studies with invented precise statistics; a fabricated Asana 'longitudinal analysis' comparing automated vs non-automated organizations; and a McKinsey 2023 update misattributed as a direct sequel to the real 2017 'A Future That Works' report with an altered baseline figure.

    Before

    Article cited entirely fabricated studies for real people and organizations (Butterfield, De Smet, Spotify, HubSpot, Toyota, Buffer) and misattributed a real 2023 McKinsey statistic to a fabricated follow-up report.

    After

    Removed the fabricated studies and statistics while preserving accurate general characterizations of each organization's real, documented work in this space (Spotify's real Fleet Management engineering blog series, Buffer's real transparent remote-work culture, Toyota's real AI-assisted manufacturing initiatives); corrected the McKinsey 2023 statistic's actual source and baseline.

    Why: The real 2017 McKinsey 'A Future That Works' report (authors, methodology, 60 percent/30 percent finding) and Asana's real 58 percent 'work about work' statistic both verified as accurate - this article's issues were concentrated entirely in invented specific follow-up studies and corporate case studies.
