  They know, and don’t care. Because this quarter’s earnings went up by reducing expenses.

    I agree that they don’t care, but how does return to work cost more?

      It’s a soft layoff. They’re purposefully cutting workforce without taking on the liability of a layoff.

  I’d rather get a new job than have to buy a whole-ass work wardrobe

    Finding a new job is hard though, especially in tech. Most companies will under pay college grads or import workers.

    To be fair, virtually every job I have been applying for lately says casual dress. Although that might just be a UK thing?

      WFH casual is wayyy more casual than the most casual office casual.

  The workers who are very skilled know that they have options and can tell their current employer to shove it knowing they can pick up a different WFH job fairly easily.

  Return to office is literally a hail Mary play. Covid sent us all home, now the corporate real estate is tetering on collapse because no one needs office buildings. By any means necessary. DON’T GO BACK TO OFFICE! The office buildings will eventually be turned into rental apartments because the owners are desperate for money! Make them spend the inevitable government bailout on retro furnishing their buildings into apartments so the rent can finally drop, and people earning 70k a year with no debt can afford more than a 2bedroom apartment while being unable to save. Also blackrock will lose…a LOT of money, which just makes me really happy as a person.
