The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism — the tendency to be self-centered and entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status
You're actually a narcissist for not wanting to spend every day of your life commuting to me to perform busyness in a little cubicle for my narcissistic enjoyment
Yeah, when the offices are full, it's "a prestigious bustling hub of entrepreneurship" or whatever and it's worth loads, but when there is a lot of empty offices for hire it's "business slum" and the value is tanking, especially if its built outside city center.
I see truth here, but where I work, the exec leadership holes up on one floor of the building and almost never show their faces. They get someone to park their car for them and scurry in quickly. Their meals are all brought to them on their floor.
Maybe they just like seeing the rest of us chumps from on high? They sure as hell never come to the office floors.
They have spent so much money on stuffing us all in here, making it miserable and they don't have to be accountable to the complete lack of ROI.
I used to look in on things after hours. Now I NEVER even check if there are messages. I do my time in the dumb office and leave PROMPTLY after eight hours. I take a real lunch also.
Didn't see that one coming, color me shocked!

This all seems like such a waste.
I'm sure the ass kissing middle managers go up to the top floor for brown nosing sessions. You know, the "up and comers'.
