Employers offering remote and hybrid work options hire new talent more quickly than companies making employees to return to the office.

    Government officials either owned or had friends own office buildings and it made monetary sense for them to force workers back to the offices.

    Even that is sunk-cost fallacy. If they own the buildings, that means they’re already paid for. The only money they lose is theoretical and non-existent.

      Some collect rent from sub companies, some have fears of devaluation of buildings if not occupied, etc. Plenty of angles where the lost money.

        Right, theoretical money. “Opportunity cost.” They’re not losing anything, they’re missing out on potentially making more.

        Boo hoo

          Hey, I agree. It is about corrupt officials and businesses who want to make more. I’m not burning a candle for the (perceived) plight of these monsters 😀
