    No company likes to have liabilities on the books, but to think that they would force an RTO for that reason alone doesn’t pass the smell check. It’s a more economical option to write off the loss and try your best to sublease the space, or attempt to get out of your lease early. That way, you’re no longer stuck with the costs once it’s done, and can make more money long-term.

      I doubt it’s just a singular reason they are forcing return to office.

      It’s likely property value, micro managing , reducing head count and so on all play a role in jt

          I am not saying they are whole valid reasons. I am just giving examples of some of the reasons they might want people back in.

          I love remote work and hope I can stay in it
