A lot of times, when people discuss the phenomenon of employers ending work-from-home and try to make their employees come back to the office, people say that the motivation is to raise real estate prices.

I don’t follow the logic at all. How would doing this benefit an employer in any way?

    All of this makes CEOs itchy.

    Why? Not all CEOs are in the same industry. Why should the CEO of Google give a fuck what the CEO of Boston Properties thinks? Google is just leasing a space from them. You would think the CEO of Google would be happy for an excuse to offload some real estate expenses.

      Considering that the Muskrat can apparently be the full time CEO of 3 companies simultaneously you might be surprised.

      CEOs think they’re different from us normies, and have a lot in common with other superstars CEOs such that their interests seem more shared.

      It’s complex, for sure, but yes to some extent the “back to office” CEOs care that the commercial property market stays “healthy.”
