White-collar workers temporarily enjoyed unprecedented power during the pandemic to decide where and how they worked.

Just let those leases expire when they do

The companies losing money are the huge companies who don't lease from what I've seen.

A company in my city JUST finished a $250-million expansion onto their HQ right as COVID hit. That same land area is in a central location and was even being highly considered for high density housing before the company bought the land. The parking lot for the new building never gets more than half full. Fuck 'em.

haha. Too bad for them. Just like how regular folks were/still are getting screwed by stuff over the last few years, it's hard for me to have any sympathy for a company that even has $250 million for an expansion.
