    2020 - 2023 has really revealed just how little business leaders really have a clue about anything. They are all high-performers who push and push but don’t really have any idea what is important or not. What we really need is a ban on business bros lol.

      Have you considered that lowering headcount via rto firings increases profits, which leads to short-term growth in the stock market, so bonuses? Sure, some people will lose their homes, but someone else got a new boat. When God closes a door, he opens a window 🙏

        An anecdote:

        My high-paying tech job wants us back 2 days a week. I intentionally bought a house near a train that will get me to the downtown office in about 15 minutes while many of my coworkers live in the distant suburbs where commuting will require a lot more time and effort.

        Despite this, I STILL don’t go into the office. The biggest reasons:

        1. Nobody is there - it’s a ghost town.
        2. I’m far less productive while I’m there because I have to leave early to pick up my kids from school.
        3. My boss doesn’t go in at all - ever - due to extremely valid health reasons (his wife is undergoing cancer treatment).
        4. His boss moved out of state. Like way, way out of state. He’s got a nice office with a beautiful view. He doesn’t and can’t use it.
        5. My boss’s boss’s boss - (the CTO) moved to Florida and, rumor has it, lives full-time on his yacht.

        I mean… at some point we just have to acknowledge that our giant, empty office space would be much better suited as housing.
