In the next few years, I’d love to see statistics on corporations that owned office property vs leased office property and their attitudes on remote work post pandemic.
I’d say it’s a safe bet that corporations that had an easy out of their office footprints would likely have less of this type of return to office “encouragement”. Consequently companies like Google and especially Apple that have created these corporate owned campus monstrosities (err I mean “flagships”) would not want to have a billion dollar real estate asset on their books that sat around 75% empty.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoThis is understood. However, Google from the very beginning aimed at attracting the best people, not just with salary, but with time for side projects and so on, it was a part of their culture that made it attractive. It's a 180-degree turn now, they openly became employee-hostile. This kind of pettiness may seem insignificant but it leaves a bad taste and make the best talent think twice about their options.

- kcplate 5y agoWell I doubt you could call it really “employee hostile”, it’s more a shift to a more normalized benefit expectation for the industry and relying on the Google name prestige to separate it from the other companies in the tech sector. It may not be what it once was…but employee hostile? Hardly.
