      As a manager, I can tell you it’s not about management. None of us asked for return to office. In fact the vast majority of managers at my company have been pushing back hard, which is the only way we got a hybrid schedule. It really comes down to being all about real estate, local taxes, optics, C-levels stuck in the old ways of doing things and wanting to return to “the good old days”.

      I don’t give a crap where my employees are working as long as they get shit done and can reply during business hours when shit hits the fan.

        Management are just a bunch of pawns. I write this as a manager. It’s about the assholes at the top wanting to control other people’s lives.

        They are holding bags that they want to get rid of before they need to accept the capital losses after assuming office real estate would be a sure bet and then the world changed in March 2020.
