Selfish position based on the corporate real estate problem. His only focus is on how he can make money. Workers working from home do not help him.
Well run for office and make the policy or get appointed to head an agency and give up your CEO pay.
I understand things change, business environments change, and all that. But the restaurants, bars, coffee houses, just general shops — their customers are no longer there. What do these people do to earn a living when their clientele are no longer there?
I have a better idea.
Declare that anyone who hasn’t been to the office in 24 months is excused from further effort, and should consider themself terminated for cause.
If you get 15 minutes a month of actual work out of a bureaucrat it is a bleeding miracle.
Please come back.
Even if you have to walk past those sleeping in doorways, scurry past the insane, watch your step over the needles and excrement.
Even if you have to avert your eyes from the brutalist architecture in order to get through the front security doors, and past the security checkpoint in our lack-of-trust society.
Wait in line for the elevators to the 70th floor so you can crawl back into your cubicle and await your first of many useless meetings that only make completing your meaningless tasks more difficult.
Reconnect with the office politics, your lazy coworkers, your peter-principled boss, your woke HR department, and the vending machines that take your money without giving up their unhealthy goods.
You owe it to yourself, your country, and most importantly: the economy.
All praise be unto Blackrock and Vanguard.
Finally, something Dimon and I agree upon.
Next SNOW STORM....see HOW MANY WORKERS ARE ESSENTIAL!!! PROBABLY NOT 5%!!!
This will cause global warming.
They probably didn’t do much work in the office either.

I don’t care much about that. If a federal employee is firing on all cylinders, I don’t care if he works from home or from a treehouse in the Amazon rainforest.
But if his productivity is suffering by staying at home, either report to the office or be terminated.
The trick, of course, is determining how productive a federal employee actually is.
Why? Why does it bother you so much and why should anybody else care?
I can’t wait until Trump appoints Musk as an efficiency director. He’ll fire them all.
Put the newcomers in the buildings. Wall Street supports Harris anyway.

I was driving through the farm and pasture land in East Texas recently. Passed a couple of massive new subdivisions of McMansions in the middle of nowhere. Well outside the commuting range for Dallas (Hour and a half or so at rush hour absent weather or wrecks). I have no idea where those folks would work other than from home.
In this age of social media there is still actual benefits to face to face interactions between live human beings. It is also to the employees benefit to have face to face interactions with fellow workers and upper management. But everyone has to make those decisions for themselves.
I say this as someone who was a geographically based remote employee. I worked in an office but was located in a different state than my work group.
The problem will sort itself out over time. Many of those work at home people may just become “don’t work here anymores”.
Musk is chomping at the bit to put efficiency and productivity into the government. Please notice that I didn’t say “back” into the government.
He’s completely missing the point. It doesn’t matter where this gigantic army of “workers” is located; many of them are just serving the interests of the bureaucracies, not serving the people. The larger goal should be to downsize the government. Bigley.
I hope Elon Musk can have the opportunity to expose the waste, redundancies and mismanagement in government so that a we can have a more streamlined and focused government working for US instead of the ever expanding administrative state.
Grifter “employees” bother me, Jammie.
