    What’s the likelihood that the billionaires driving the work from office campaign are really trying to reestablish their power and instil fear in their workers again? It’s all about control so they can squeeze and fire people as they like. They sound like psychopaths.

      Which is hilarious because the smart ones realize that the carrot is much better than the stick and they can actually get more from their workforce by working with them. But nope.

      A big part is commercial real estate. There’s a lot of investments tied up in it and while it affects most people with a lot of money, many mutual funds (401k, etc) are tied up in it. So we’re basically keeping it alive because money.

      Not defending it at all. Just saying why

        This is basically my assumption whenever I hear “CEO X says RTO is the bestest thing.” My first thought is always “I wonder how much money CEO X has in commercial real estate”

      It also lines people up for workforce reduction.

      Yeah they want you to feel grateful to work for them. That’s not going to work for me
