I don’t get it. Companies want to make money. Study after study proves that WFH generates greater productivity on average and, therefore, more output and more money. Surely, it must be costing more to maintain massive office buildings and overpay useless middle managers to lord over employees?
There have been further studies that show that work from home may not be as productive. The science doesn’t seem to be as settled.
You also may have issues with coordination where some face time would be good on an as-needed basis. It may not need to be full time in the office, but I can see wanting some in person meetings.
They get huge tax breaks for the bodies those buildings were supposed to bring to their cities. Now that nobody’s in them, those cities aren’t getting the extra tax money from the office workers anymore, so they’re pressuring companies to bring workers back to the office. No giant, money-thirsty corporation wants to maintain a huge, expensive office building, but they’re stuck doing so unless they want to sell it at a loss and risk pissing off the owners of whatever palms they had to grease to get the deal in the first place.
It’s good for companies that rent office space, but not for companies that own those offices. This is corporate landlords throwing a shitfit, and they have a lot more money and own more news outlets than companies who rent.
Don’t live where you work. Everyone is going to start feeling so much more annoying.
They’re soooo close to understanding.
Having people stay at this hotel eliminates the commute.
Remote work eliminates the commute.
Now, if the company would simply get with it, they could save money both by not having this asinine hotel idea and by not having all the office space.

so they’re going to let me work at work and then sleep at work? where do I sign up???
Hey google, I heard people like money. Maybe if you pay willing employees a reasonable amount to commute, they’ll be willing to come in. Otherwise, shut it.
