Well that was an impressive way to destroy your entire business model

LoL right?

I mean the company clearly benefited from the pandemic and people working from home. Why would they want that to stop??

Control. They don't feel like they have enough control of their plebe workers

I swear, sometimes it feels as though companies are run by a bunch of power hungry psychopaths. The system is really rigged in their favor, too. Their kind of behaviour seems rewarded all the time.

Money. This guy is getting leaned on to send the message that wfh is a mistake. There is about 2.5 trillion in corporate real estate debt floating around and when contracts are negotiated conditions are made. Government and invested business are shitting bricks and doing everything they can to force occupation of otherwise obsolete buildings.
