Undoubtedly the internet makes more remote roles possible. I’m just saying the business already hates paying for the office. Their incentive is aligned with regards to having less office space.


I'm arguing that maybe businesses don't actually hate it. Maybe execs love it and prioritize it.

Really? Then why do you think that return-to-office is mandated by so many large organizations? By following that line of thinking then surely their larger footprint would yield even larger savings for work-from-home?


Because they believe it will optimize their labor costs (the most expensive part of white collar business ).

They give employees space in that building so that people have a dedicated space to do their work, free from outside distraction.
