It's not though. None of this back-to-office stuff is for real estate.

It has nothing to do with profits. It's more profitable to have everyone work from home. Upper managers and executives simply prefer having everyone in the office because they like it. It's their preference.

Yeah, I miss when there was a social media site that catered to just people you know. Just friends and family.

Plain sparkling water. It's already my favourite one. I drink it by the pallet.

That was definitely the turning point in his general PR

We will. Lemmy seems to easily get flooded with singular stories. Eg whenever Elon comes up with yet another dumbass decision.

Exactly like any new game released on Steam. Massive uptake by users but it quickly peaks and dies down. Almost every time.

Plus the bots help. Bots posting things from news organizations and taking from Reddit help this place have content.

People aren't that logical. Most people feel more pain losing something than never getting it in the first place (eg: rolling back an accidental raise would be worse to someone than not getting the raise at all)

If you tell people to get back to work or lose 3% pay, you'll get more takers than offering people a 3% bump. Although they'll be very disgruntled of course.

It's not because of commercial real estate that offices are forcing people back.

It's simply because managers who are in charge of making that decision prefer to be in the office.

They like everyone in the office, so they're forcing it on everyone. Either because it makes them feel more powerful to look at all their underlings, because they enjoy working face-to-face (probably how they got high up in the company), or because they suck at their jobs and can only micro-manage by looking over people's shoulders

This is like us too. The important stuff aligns, but we have very different general interests and hobbies.

Obviously, that's the one that's off the table. The choice is strictly between developing medicine or saving a species.

And I think we all know the birds are the ones who will have to go.
