We have FAANG'ers bringing in hundreds of thousands and still complaining about RTO.

We never had WFH before - it was an experiment. For many businesses, the experiment didn't work. If you don't want RTO, find some other business that allows WFH. It's pretty much that simple...

Where’s that data that it didn’t work? No one can show me this.

It works fine.

The data is all of the companies saying it doesn't work and calling for RTO. Does anything really think they're doing this for funsies? Does anyone comprehend how expensive it is to operate office buildings?

We think of these mega-corps as inhuman, penny pinching, stingy monoliths - yet we then believe they're blowing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars a month on office space that's unnecessary. The math ain't mathin'..

Speaking of "math that ain't mathin'" what about the fact that their best year ever was a year while they had a shitload of remote workers?

You think these ego-maniac CEOs are entirely rational machines?

They’re just as into vibes as the corner shop trying to sell you spirit crystals.

Show me one CEO with a building and I’ll show you one who doesn’t have one. ThE MaTh AiNt MaThInG

If it didn't work how did JP Morgan bring home record profits in 2024? And in 2023, and in 2022, and in 2021?

Nothing is failing. Bro likes the office. He thinks everyone should too.

It’s insane to me how all these companies have profit numbers up and to the right for half a decade under hybrid policies, but then are like “you know what will make us do even better? Pissing off the whole work force all at once for no good reason.”

It’s just comically stupid.
