That's it.
I don't think that is it. Most companies would be glad to cut down on office space. Certainly some companies have a direct interest in having office space, but most clearly do not.
To me it seems to be more about controlling your employees, which is easiest to do by proximity.

Even if productivity is likely same, as in office they would be physically present, but likely do about same amount of actual work. Butts in seats, not the output is what feels right and is at least somewhat measurable.
- constantcrying 3y agoYes, exactly. I think it is mostly about the feeling of management. If the employee is present they "know" that he is actually working, if he is at home they are relatively powerless.
