Ah yes your anecdotal experience clearly means one of the largest companies in the world is rejecting remote work by buying an office they already lease.

  It gives some insight into the worker mentality. Investing in premium office space at the height of a huge real estate bubble during a huge shift to remote work says a lot about Google's confidence in office space remaining in high demand, especially since we have on record Google execs pushing for going back to the office. I don't know if this is just Google doubling down but it's an interesting move on their part given the timing.

    Either that or it just illustrates how they have so much money ($135B cash on hand and growing) that $2B is barely a drop in the bucket for them.
