  IBM is the poster child for never considering the long term effects of its actions. At one point or another in history, IBM was the #1 company making software, databases, managed compute, personal computers, servers, Unix, laptop computers, servers.

  I have to assume somebody’s done a cost analysis

  I don’t get why you assume there’s a cost analysis that could be accurate over the reported productivity increases of working remotely.

  It’s likely the obvious, a change that isn’t good but it’s done anyway because people in a company often do not do what’s good for the company, they chase what’s good for them personally.

  Yeah they’re going to drive down costs by having employees quit due to RTO 🤣
