      There are people who prefer the office. There are meetings better held in person. There are things you cannot do in remote, such as working together on a blackboard.

        Truth, no argument here

        There are things you cannot do in remote, such as working together on a blackboard.

        Inaccurate, you can definitely have shared drawing space remotely.

        But really, none of this has to do with the comparison you made. It’s like this thread has a bunch of middle managers in it trying to justify return to office mandates or something.

        Some people really hate going to the office too, and there is the saying of ‘eat your own dog food’ it seems weird that zoom, a platform for remote work, would have a giant office building. You can argue servers blah blah, but I’m not convinced that’s a data center.

        The issue is not that WFH works for everyone. The issue is that RTO was mandated for everyone.

          Any company that mandates RTO should pay massively higher taxes to account for the externalities — we spend trillions in higher medical and infrastructure costs, not to mention the incalculable damage to families who are robbed of precious hours together for absolutely no reason. The boards of directors of these companies should be bankrupted and thrown into gulags.

          It costs society nothing to replace C-suite management, since they’re all morons. Speaking from experience, the people graduating from (and teaching at) Harvard business school are so dumb, it figuratively blew my mind.
