I once worked for a company that had a founder who was cancelling all contracts on a yearly basis, including renting the office. They were proud of cutting costs that way. After two times, the property owner said, "Great! I have a company that asked me about the space and is willing to pay much more" and the company of several hundred people had to move on very short notice.

  Yes, it was very rich, but it did disrupt operations a lot and the new space wasn't as nice - we moved from team offices to an open layout, with my boss praising the open layout - we then found out he would get a private office.

    Too bad your boss's office has been infested with crickets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5C82CY7?pf_rd_r=R91A8JNKAJ387ZZ0TQ2P&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=liveDestination&pf_rd_i=video&linkCode=ilv&tag=onamzlukemats-20&ascsubtag=VideoCreatorPortal%3A4fd5b4d2f9a34851830f19c0a0b3de01&asc_contentid=amzn1.vse.video.0a81d82b7c4b46ebbe1cb0d40f0853c9&pd_rd_i=B0C5C82CY7&th=1&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5C82CY7?pf_rd_r=R91A8JNKAJ387ZZ...

They could have simply renegotiated the contracts with the same benefits and less negative effects.
