Surprised no one.
If this would have surprised no one they wouldn't have done it and just ate the cost of office spaec. No, there's people out there who still think company loyalty is a thing and that fostering a "company culture" is actually viable.
It absolutely is. If you treat your employees like human beings, they'll reward you with loyalty. But that just doesn't seem to be a thing any more in the US.
Loyalty comes from money...old days of small companies who took care of their employees are gone. Wanna retain me? Fuck you pay me.
Just for context, a large chunk of "top tech talent" at the companies in the study are going to be making 200-400k. While there's still going to be issues with pay, it's a pretty different situation than fast food workers or similar.
I'll send you a pizza once a year, isn't that gratitude enough? Millenials...
What if I told you, there are other places than the US? While US style oligarchic capitalism has infected much of the world, it isn't quite as dominant everywhere just yet.
return to office was basically a layoff in disguise.
