80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans: ‘A lot of executives have egg on their faces’::As some business leaders accept hybrid work as a permanent reality, others are backtracking on earlier pledges to let employees work from home.
I’m surprised people aren’t aware of the real estate mob. It’s the oligarchy who are pushing for return to offices. They have valuable investments in both big companies and the real estate, and they don’t want to see the values of their assets going down.
Don’t worry, they will divest now while it’s propped up. When they are divested and it’s suckers holding the bag, they will be fine with wfh.
The dam is broken, there is no going back. It will be different by company and industry but it’s not going away.
