There was a club by a client of mine (years ago). They got sandwiches from the shop across the street, so I risked it once or twice. Tuesday sub at the club was not as interesting as it sounds.

Come back to the office or you will not be up for any promotion/ raise.

I think I will stay remote.

No parking, no gas, no 2++ hour commute every day, no vehicle wear and tear, lower vehicle insurance, no lunch expense, no extra clothing expense, less stress, and I'm more productive both at work assignments as well as homelife.

You add all of that up and that raise would have to be bloody huge to make up for the above and some things it just can not.

Ask Dell how that worked out for them.

As I have mentioned before and @Jm_ just reiterated, can't have all of that very expensive real estate sitting empty and costing the billionaire class money.

It is a essentially a sunk cost :shakefist:

Like Elon Musk, 1 in 3 bosses admit they are pushing RTO because they're so upset about wasting money on all those empty desks

One in ten of those firms admitted that they plan to scrap the mandates entirely after their leases expire.

It turns out that long inescapable office leases—rather than work output—might be the most powerful force in the return to office (RTO) push so many companies have been making or threatening to make.

One-third of companies surveyed in a recent report from Resume.org said that their company’s lease agreements are the anchoring force behind their return-to-office policies.

In the case of my wife (healthcare) and bank employees, RTO means they don't actually have to inspect WFH offices for compliance. It's way easier to just make folks come in than to make a single home visit.

They moved the wife's team out of the downtown skyscraper and into a building in the burbs that is 20 minutes farther than it was to downtown. But it isn't $225 a month for parking, so it almost works out.
