I understand the impulse to believe this is all temporary and that the extroverts who lead our companies will get us all back into the open office as soon as they can. Consider a financial reality. There is likely to be a terrible recession over the next few years. There will be layoffs and bankruptcies. Office space is hugely expensive. Some competitors are going to choose not to renew office space or to downsize their offices as this crisis drags on. And your company will have to compete with those companies who have cut costs without loosing efficiency.
We are living through a black swan event, so it's a healthy exercise to forget everything you think you know about how the world works. I don't know how this is going to play out.

- mynegation 6y agoIt is expensive to _someone_ all the time. If not to the tenant then to the owner: taxes, heating, HVAC, preventive maintenance, cleaning, security need to continue - filled or empty.

- oblio 6y agoYou've reminded me of something. Office gear will become massively cheaper the following period. Especially second hand gear.
- eequah9L 6y agoThe US unemployment is currently about 15%, up from some 3-4% that it was in the previous months. I wonder if there will be an effects on office space demand, and thus its price. Maybe it will become not as hugely expensive?

- dougmwne 6y agoWeWork is the most vulnerable here. Since they were selling flexibility, many many companies that temporarily have no need of office space are going to quickly jettison their WeWork subscriptions and leases. What reason do they have to keep paying? They can always re-subcribe once things go back to "normal". In the meantime WeWork will burn.
