man i just spent 30m this morning telling jokes to my remote coworker over slack, I've seen him only once in my life, according to this CEO I couldn't have possibly gotten to know him.
Funny watching the CEOs trying to do the verbal splits, coming up with excuses where it's just "waah we're paying for an office that nobody uses :("
we have nothing to lose but our commutes
Work in an office, they said. It will be easier for meetings, they said.
It's crazy how shortsighted and dumb companies are.
It's not that they're shortsighted and dumb (well, many are, but that's not why they're spouting this BS), they know those reasons are full of shit, they just need some excuse that sounds better than "we signed a 4 year lease and so we're going to make that your problem" or "the CEO is getting lonely and misses being able to walk around the office among all his minions"
