Imagine reading in a national newspaper that a government official wanted workers back downtown to fix the downtown economy and then learning 3 days later that you must start showing up to an office to sit on Teams calls with your nationally dispersed team.

AbsoluteAggressor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month agoI feel like helping local economy is the only valid reason against work from home.
But, you know. Not like better city planning wouldn’t help this.

Working from home does help the local economy, just not the right ones for the C-suite.

As much as I hate to admit it, the conversations that happen because I overheard another conversation a couple cubes over do have value.

If they have value to the company then how about sharing the costs of commuting? A 50-50 split seems reasonable to me. The company gets the value of those conversations, and the plebs get some help with all that fuel they now have to buy, at ridiculous prices due to high oil prices.

You should have a local economy where you live…

My city of 3000 people certainly appreciates us buying locally. Some other city that’s 100x the size? They’re gonna be fine. Is the real estate price really so important business would rather make us buy goods from nearby places?

Companies have heavy commercial real estate bags. They are justifying their investments by forcing RTO

I genuinely refuse to believe it is more profitable for them to pay for AC, water and electricity that RTO would hike. There has to be something else I am missing.
