    It amazes me that leaders don’t get this. My office is filled with separate one-sided calls and it’s unbearable. Furthermore I’ve not been in a meeting without Silicon Valley listening in in at least 5 years.

      They do get it but they don’t care. They want you to be uncomfortable and miserable because it keeps up the value of their commercial real estate portfolio .

        Also tax breaks. Many large corpos negotiated city tax breaks for bringing a certain number of employees into downtowns. If those numbers don’t meet minimums, the tax breaks go away.
        Any we all know how much time, effort and expense a business person will go through to avoid paying $1 in taxes.

        It makes sense, but what would be even more valuable for real estate is if we gave up on crampt open plan offices and give people some space 😅
