Someone is getting tired of paying for HVAC, electricity, and plumbing for a vacant office building ๐ข
That's how I understood it as well. Feels like most mandates have nothing to do with company culture and more to do with commercial property expenses/investments.
If only they could make a charitable donation to the city, with the expressed purpose that it be converted to affordable housing/homeless shelters for a profitable tax write-off instead.
Sometimes I wonder why these chucklefucks get to play with the big bucks. A good CEO allocates resources well. That's it. This just screams failure in that department, and soooo many better options exist.
They don't need to convert it, keep it as office space for a charity or multiple charities, use it as storage for charities, make workshop spaces for low income or unemployed, etc etc etc
Even better resource allocation. I think Zoom might need a new CEO soon. Send HR a link to this thread homie. One of us is sure to land the job.
In some countries you'd get tax breaks for leasing the building to a charity. It's win win win
When I was working in the office, I'd put the thermostat where I like it, drink 6 K-Cups worth of something a day, and use so much TP. I hated commuting and made sure I got my money's worth. They'll regret bringing people like me back.
