Steve Schwarzman of the Blackstone group said staff want to work from home so they can save money

The boss of the world’s biggest commercial landlord has accused remote workers of staying away from the office because it means they “don’t work as hard” and can save money.

Steve Schwarzman, the chief executive of investment firm the Blackstone group, made the claims about hybrid staff while speaking on a panel at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In remarks first reported by Bloomberg, he said employees had kept working from home because “they didn’t work as hard, regardless of what they tell you” and also due to the savings they make on their daily commute, lunches and work attire.

I can ruin the productivity of at least one other person in the process.

While on a particularly stupid project that I knew was destined for failure, I actually requested to come into the office on a constant basis because I knew that it was going to fail horribly and I didn't want my non-presence to become the scapegoat for the manager's pitifully bad choice.

I mean, I was there all the time, right? How can I have been the cause of this otherwise perfect project failing so miserably?

Well they don't work as hard...

When you factor in things like getting ready for work, commuting and even just the emotional labor that goes into dealing with workplace idiots face to face and keeping up appearances, it makes perfect sense
