I’m thinking that corporate real estate is in trouble because workers at many companies all across the country are happily working from home. This is bad for any Money Men who have ownership of corporate real estate.

Never let a crisis go to waste — SVB failed? Because they made bad investments? And were not paying attention to basic risk management? Well, why not use this crisis and tell everyone that it was REALLY because people were working from home! A lesson for all companies! Force your workers back to the office! It won’t help SVB, but sure would help Money Men who own corporate real estate!

It’s also a sop to the professional middle management class so many industries are afflicted with in this country...

That’s changing. As the job market sours, employers will increasingly demand that their employees show up at the office. JP Morgan honcho Jaime Dimon and Tesla head Elon Musk are telling people to show up or find other jobs. They’re not doing this because productivity is higher for people working from home or because they don’t like the idea of saving money on office space. Their experience is presumably that working from home translates into productivity losses.

Excellent analysis, and the only thing that needed to be said.
