FFS, if you cannot monitor your employee's productivity via ERP software or meetings you are a shit boss and you should have been shitcanned a long time ago. Why the fuck is the mainstream media pumping out this shit day in and day out?

Because commercial real estate is suffering. Got to pump the usage rates and occupancy numbers so the REITs can be rated AAA for investors!!1

Nailed it. If you aren't working onsite then they can't write off the asset. This leaves businesses holding an expensive depreciating asset that highly impacts the balance sheet. Solution? Force people back to the office to get that sweet, sweet write-off.

So that underpaid employees can spend most of their money on gas and sandwiches from the cafeteria round the corner

They pump it out because it's what the people at the top of the societal pyramid want. And those are the top are really the ones with all that commercial real estate that's wasting away.
