From what I hear we've gone to a hotel concept. You just show up and take a desk. So it's not even your own "space" any longer.
Then you're sitting by some woketard who is looking to be upset at every little thing they hear.
What's driving this back to the office business is money.
Specifically tax revenue and spending. Downtown realators, businesses, etc, are seeing declining revenues as people are WFH.
This means local gubmint isn't getting the money they used to. And gubmint does one thing well....take your money.
Follow the money trail and you will see who is pushing back to the office.
Downtown realators, businesses, etc, are seeing declining revenues as people are WFH.The only thing sustaining commercial real estate is long term leases, which are coming up now, or being bought out by major companies who are dumping office space. My wife's company just consolidated 3 floors into one at a prime downtown DC property. And these buildings are not built for residential or hotel use, so it's not like they can convert them to the latest, greatest retail/office/residential complex (however annoying that concept is, but the yutes in northern VA seem to like it).
