Some bosses are tying bonuses to getting people back into the office. But with "work from home" the most searched-for term on job websites, the push-and-pull is a source of contention.
I went to a networking event for work recently, and a commercial real estate broker went into a frantic rant about how fucked building owners are if occupancy doesn’t pick back up, and I have to say it was the most poignant explanation of why companies are so indignant about it.
Honestly, of all the possible explanations for the desire for RTO, none of them felt like enough justification against the very real benefit to workers WFH provides. But this one guy having an existential meltdown in front of me felt like a glimpse into a world of entitlement this class of building owners feel.
I work as an architect, so my job is fucked if the real estate market crashes, but I fucking hope it burns.
