I mean doesn’t this save employers money by allowing them to spend less on office space, utilities, and other services?

Or are the same rich people who run these companies also the same as those with giant investments in commercial and retail real estate that will collapse without the previous status who and fear losing money?

Or maybe the managers are just control freaks who can’t track the employees as easily as when they are in the office?

Or maybe the are just a bunch of boomers who didn’t work like that 30 years ago and are incapable of change and adaptation?

I wonder which of these it could be.
