A lot of times, when people discuss the phenomenon of employers ending work-from-home and try to make their employees come back to the office, people say that the motivation is to raise real estate prices.
I don’t follow the logic at all. How would doing this benefit an employer in any way?
Why the fuck would you think that’s what he’s trying to say?
What is he trying to say then? What the commentator mentioned and what the CEOs(including my own employer) were saying from 2020-2022 are at odds with each other. So someone is incorrect. Which one is it?
He said nothing whatsoever about the positive indicators of wfh. He just said the idea that CEOs care about real estate values is bullshit.
If real estate value claims are bullshit, why are the same CEOs that praised the productivity increases, touted record breaking profits now force people to come to the office?
Congratulations, you discovered the topic of this thread
My original reply was on topic too. The commentor said that anyone making a connection between coming to office and real estate values is just high. My response was that CEOs originally praised WFH. If productivity is not an issue it’s natural that people make a connection between being forced to come to the office and real estate values. And either the CEOs that reported higher productivity when WFH or people dismissing the said real estate connection are liars. How is this not on topic? Would you please care to point out?
That makes no sense. Higher productivity can be true, AND return to office can have nothing to do with real estate values.
I asked this question earlier as well but you chose to ignore it completely. I am asking again. Why are same CEOs who praised WFH now forcing people to come to the office?
I think this is the theory that makes the most sense: https://lemmy.world/comment/4545094
