Where is your source that it's "sheer misery for most people" ?Furthermore, when schools are closed, someone must be home. Business hours are best kept with commutation delays and social distancing issues eliminated. They are paying rents until their leases are up whether people are residing in them or not. How is unoccupied space verses occupied space an "unmitigated disaster" when the money is spent regardless ? Given how most corporations, university, and government staffers are so decentralized, with people with common direct reporting managers scattered across multiple sites within the US and in India, and have been for the least 15-20 years, it makes no difference if they reside in an office or not. My whole group has been WFH since March 18, it runs through Dec 31, and I suspect there is now way we will be back in the office until June. Given 15 months of WFH, it should then be apparent an office is not needed except as a place to stash IT hardware. People throw around the word "productivity" too loosely. Performance is measured by completing tasks on time, and meeting target dates. Where the people are sitting is completely transparent to the customer or in-house, or external user. |
