Workers must prop up commercial real estate values and slop bowl franchises

Return-to-office feels more like an effort to manufacture demand than evidence that it actually exists. I don’t think it has legs long term.

All those REITs underwater. Who will think of them?

Everyone drive to work so we can all sit at our desks and call into Teams meetings for 6 hours a day.

„return to work“ what a garbage term.

Reading corporate speak just makes me throw up in my mouth. Does anyone other than managers pretending what they’re saying is truthful and important actually buy this nonsense?

>The report, released by Royal LePage on Thursday, indicates 2026 will be a year of revival for office real estate, which was impacted heavily during the COVID-19 pandemic that drove many employees to full-time remote work.
Global must be getting a nice Christmas gift basket this year. Of course the realtor company is going to say office space is hot when they’re directly profiting from people being forced back to the office.
Not so hot take, if people can WFH. Let them.
Forcing people back to appease corporate interests and cut people via attrition is just dirty.

Always new real estate was the culprit.

Just got the „must return to office no options“ demand today. It’d been hinted at for a while and we knew it was coming, but now it’s „thou SHALL“ language. Interesting as it comes on the heels of Q1 results.
What’s fascinating to me is most of the work being done is, by its nature, remote. Think out in the middle of nowhere cutting trees on some mountain, in some cases. Mine’s IT, and we proved we could rapidly transition to all online for most IT stuff.
The kicker? It takes effect immediately. No warning to adjust plans, find child care, find transport arrangements (I’m disabled), etc etc etc. Just „right now“. No I’m not union but if I were I wouldn’t be on reddit I’d be talking to my rep.
So it’s good to see the rest of y’all sparking up too. Gives me hope; thank you <3

Socialized loses. Privatized gains.

Basically paying elites to ruin people’s lives.
Squeezing every bit of life from everyone to fill their pockets rather than creating new jobs.
Such a sad state!!

Ummmm one might argue an artificially created demand. 🤦♂️
