It depends on what you do. If, for example you're in IT then maybe your officers are thinking, hey we can replace this !00K a year guy for a 20K guy in Bangalore.

Yup...the same people that historically never did shit in the office are the same people that also don't do shit WFH.
That is 100% the case!
the managers don't really even pay attention to how much their direct reports are in the office or not.

Depends how motivated the brass is to get bodies back in the real estate. I have a very boomer HR, and a manager told me they were checking badge swipes to see who really was coming into the building 3 days per week. She recently left the company, so hopefully she's replaced with someone in her 30s or 40s who understands the writing is on the wall. WFH is the future.

I am in sales and have worked from home for several years pre covid. My productivity went way up since WFH, saving 3 hrs a day commuting. Being in the office there's always way more interesting conversations than doing work. WFH it's easier to focus. If you make the company more $ than you cost they will gladly let you WFH.

There's also a bunch of local CO towns looking to raise taxes on ABNB as well. The angst in ski towns is real. It's not just from locals mad at skyrocketing home prices, it's locals who feel the soaring number of empty units are harming a sense of community and/or harming the local job market. There's a variety of reasons various people are pissed off.

This is the way I think. Don't ban them, let them exist but taxing will slow things down a whole lot.

Some accountants like to work from home. It's better to see what's going on. IE When at Waste Management Walley (the controller) could watch the roll-offs come in and out of the yard and get a feeling for how much business we were losing to others. Mostly because of our higher costs (unions, Health Ins., buildings,). When "we" had to paint an old house at a transfer station we only painted 3 sides?

Manufacturing is another animal, walking the floor you can see the workers and processes. Why are we having parts returned? What's wrong? Is it materials, process or the unknown. :coffee::unsure:

People are often wired to protect themselves first and will cover their ass when the chips are down. Further, the Ivery Towers are ALWAYS filled with those who think they can get away with pretending cash are checks and the like. At Waste I was in charge of office supplies. My first move was Pen Amnesty DAY.
Return the pens you have in your car, etc. Did I care about a couple of Pens? No, it was a shot across the bow.
