A lot of times, when people discuss the phenomenon of employers ending work-from-home and try to make their employees come back to the office, people say that the motivation is to raise real estate prices.
I don’t follow the logic at all. How would doing this benefit an employer in any way?
But the other way also exists, my employer is pushing hybrid work with flex desk, so they can do a building renovation without renting one more building.
But indeed before that came on the table many top managers didn’t liked the flexible work. But it was already in place as a concession to thc unions (cheaper than a raise)
