For companies, rent is just the beginning of their cost savings. Consider all overhead in aggregate: utilities, enterprise-tier Internet connectivity, computing devices and network infrastructure for all of them, break rooms and their kitchens, bathrooms, physical security for facilities, fire and liability insurance for everything, maintenance costs and staffs for all of the above, including your janitorial, security, and IT/desktop support team. More of which I haven't mentioned. Companies worldwide should absolutely leap at the chance to slough off these costs. Remote workers, amazingly are also leaping at this chance to take on all associated costs of that overhead for ourselves, and of course these costs come with no subsidies or measurable wage/salary increases, so we get to absorb it simply as the cost of living. The employer, meanwhile, is rewarded with all the drawbacks of consumer-tier, rather than enterprise-tier infrastructure, such as poor/slow Internet connectivity, devices and LANs that are difficult or impossible to support, LPL-friendly front doors, employees taking a few minutes on the clock to clean the kitchen or bathroom, and all the rest. It's definitely a paradise for us!
