Most of us know how expensive commercial real estate is, let alone business travel. My question is how will in-office cultures compete? It seems to me that it's inherently much less capital efficient. Isn't the whole point of the tech industry to increase overall efficiency of the economy, disruptions be damned? Also, notice how most companies bringing people back have giant conflicts of interest. Banks hold massive commercial RE debt. Google/Apple/etc. have (wasted?) multi-billion dollar campuses they need to justify.
Working remote doesn’t mean working in isolation. You can work from any location and see other humans even if they’re not your colleagues. People seem to think your coworkers are your friends. That isn’t the case.
I am sorry for you..

My take: people are social creatures. Companies which attempt to maintain a remote culture will be punished by people leaving for in-person cultures (or hybrid, at a minimum). Classic example of penny wise, pound foolish.

Aren't we seeing the opposite right now? I have never heard of somebody leaving a company because they're remote.
