The real problem with commercial real estate is people not coming to work, says Bruce Ratner 

There is still a good reason to go in the office. I learn so much from being in the office that one can't learn by sitting home alone isolate. I hear stuff, for example, that other business units are doing that our team can intersect with. I also build a stronger working relationship with the executive team.

@reedriter2 have you tried just asking around, browsing documentation, roadmaps on jira or confluence or github? google docs? reading other channels in slack or teams? you know: where all of this information is laid out better and available for everyone to see whenever and more searchable and easy to reference details from later?

The reason to go in is that you get paid. Shut up.

@@KK-pm7ud not if I quit for another remote job you jamoke.

And then when you come back to the office, we're going to do our best to replace you with AI, so we can pay our CEO even more money.

Except what's happening at certain companies is that once they figure out they can't get their local workers back in the office, outsourcing to India suddenly becomes more attractive again.

I used to do it for 8 years. It was exhausting. Now I only drive 15 minutes a day.

The downside is that you are more likely to be laid off as a remote worker.

Exactly! Every metropolitan area across the United States experiences bumper to bumper traffic jams of commuters twice daily. One person per car emitting greenhouse gases and heating the planet further. Decade after decade, same old same old. Utter insanity. Work from home is a major step in the right direction. Why not high-speed rail?

He wants us to go back in so the Scrooge McDucks don't have to sell their 10th vacation home and yacht. It's so costly for us peasants to go into the office though, both in time and money.

Agree. Work from home isn’t going away

Or a wealth transfer

his brother had metastatic cancer but don't know what kind and he wrote a book about it? I have many questions about your lover!

Let's go back to the office, so we can teach some AI software how to do our jobs. (Fun Fact: an AI bot doesn't need an office to work in either).

If you love your career ? It's not Work ..

@wbay3848 100% whats your career ? Am retired & part time work now $

Yet he also said the same cities have a housing shortage

unfortunately, he doesn't have the data on his side. There is no such thing as early detection. By the time these screening tests catch cancer, it's already too late, if it's usually too late. A lot of the 'cancer' that is caught early is very slow growing cancers that would never have caused any issue. Also, if ou die 7 years after your cancer was caught early, as occurred with my mother, you are considered to have 'survived' cancer, as survival rate is measured in 5 years. All that changed with early detection is that you lived with anxiety a couple of more years, but your date of death did not necessarily change.

​@@reedriter2- interesting perspective, thank you!

You literally made me laugh out loud. My question for the fat cat landlords is this, "What are you going to do when AI makes it easy for companies to layoff 90% of their workers"?

People gotta live somewhere

Squawk Box is a show only Ayn Rand would like. 😂

Right, when the crash comes they don't lower them 0.25% at a time. They drop them to zero.
