    But think of the billions of dollars of now unused office space. That’s horrible for real estate pricing, which is where many of these fucks are invested.

      It’s not even a real estate issue sometimes. I worked in an office in an industrial facility- printing custom boxes. Everyone in an office job was on a hybrid schedule. No one’s job required them to be at the office. All conversations were by Slack, all meetings were by Zoom even if we were all in the office. They could have knocked down the office space and put in at least two more industrial printers. Considering how backed up we got around Christmas, that would have helped them.

      Some of this is just old assholes who think people need to be in the office all the time so they can watch them or something. I don’t know.

      At least they didn’t make me wear a tie.
