Return-to-office (RTO) mandates have caused companies to lose some of their best workers, a study tracking over 3 million workers at 54 “high-tech and financial” firms at the S&P 500 index has found. These companies also have greater challenges finding new talent, the report concluded.

    But in reality they are getting tax breaks for it. City governments give big tax breaks to companies that open offices and make people come in because it means those people will come to that part of town and be forced to spend money. It’s good for the businesses around the office.

    That’s how the system has worked historically and they are clinging to that tired idea.

    If I were to work from home though that money would stay in my local economy making my housing value go up instead of the value of some office building. That’s what I want.

      But then why are these office buildings in desolate industry parks devoid of anything that makes a human happy?
