What's this on "obvious incentives to keep workers in a space other than homes"?

Commercial real estate needs companies to rent their buildings, WFH cuts profits

BYUFootballisBack

11:18am

Ok but why would individual companies care about that? If they could save money

cougarfann888

11:21am

They dont he said the push back is coming from the commercial real estate people

BYUFootballisBack

11:23am

Exactly. One firm's profits are another's expenses.

All-American

11:23am

Because individual companies are still paying for the offices they are leasing.

ochobeeguy

11:27am

paying for the building, heating, cooling, water, etc

LeonMarek

It's every year, but the amount decreases each year I think
