Most gargantuan businesses own the property. Following that, if wfh becomes ubiquitous, their property is devalued and their investment is worth less or worthless. Doesn’t matter whether this would improve the bottom line in a year or two, the next three quarters is everything. Growing the business is irrelevant if you are replaced or fired for your foresight.
