  • Well. Out workers are remote. What the hell do we do with the office?
  • Eeerrrrr. Ok let people have fun.
  • But we are starting to need ways of saving costs. What do we do?
  • The plan was always to return to office.
  • Let’s do that, then.

Older than life. A situation changes and somebody whose personal interests are over the groups interests.

Typical corporate.

Upper manager goal is Y (not using the letter before it anymore thanks to dippy boy). But we’re Y -3% this quarter

Solution? Treat workers like shit until it’s Y. Doesn’t matter if it makes them unhappy, they leave, or next year’s results suck. Now now now

You missed the point tho. This is actively costing them a lot of money. They’re just doing it to save face and maintain control.
