One of the real reasons is that companies put a shitton of money into physical infrastructure and based their entire selling point for jobs on office perks. Amd now they dont know what to do with that stuff sitting empty.

Well the way I see it, allowing me to keep getting my fucjing shit done from HOME is possibly THE biggest perk a company can offer to differentiate itself from the moronic ones who don't.

Exactly. I think it has to do with the old way of thinking. They might think that working in office is more productive.

I don't. I think that is just a convenient excuse.

In a corporate world it is always about the money full stop.
