I'm surprised people in this comments section aren't aware of the real estate mob. It's the oligarchy who are pushing for return to offices. They have valuable investments in both big companies and the real estate, and they don't want to see the values of their assets going down.

Somebody posted about this on lemmy a week or so ago. I'll see if I can find it.

Don't worry, they will divest now while it's propped up. When they are divested and it's suckers holding the bag, they will be fine with wfh.

The dam is broken, there is no going back. It will be different by company and industry but it's not going away.
