    This would feel less gas lighty if they were just open about micromanaging, their 10yr commercial lease, keeping up appearances for older clients or whatever. Instead they say the most laughable shit

    “What we’ve found is, people have enjoyed coming back to the office,” says Zoom’s Chief People Officer Matthew Saxon. “There is a buzz. There’s something about being able to go have lunch with your teammates.”

    Like mother fucker 90% of people eat some sad meal prep shit at their desk.

      My bet is that in 2 years we’ll see a stark devide in talent in traditional Vs remote first companies with the latter getting pick of the litter so to speak.

        This is already happening. Remote roles are getting the cream of the crop while in office roles are getting the left overs.

        People that are good and know it are not applying to in office jobs. Why would they sacrifice an additional 5-10 hours a week for no more pay and shitty open offices?

      I have zero interest in lunch with my coworkers and I’ve pretty much always felt that way.
