Sounds just like my city (Calgary, Canada). Exact same culture too, it’s mostly oil and gas so they don’t give a shit, they just want to justify their real estate holdings downtown. Which in itself is just a big circlejerk between a bunch of oil drenched executive. Definitely goes against the mayor and council, who declared a climate emergency and there’s a bunch of ESG initiatives underway.

I found myself a remote job, and thankfully it’s still remote. I make way more than I did downtown too, with none of the overhead (parking, food, years off my life spent commuting).
