    It’s dumb that they’re not pushing to get rid of those empty desks and save that money. But I guess the market demands miserable workers or something.

      From experience, the office leases could be 10 or 15 years long, although there are probably break clauses every 5, so they probably can’t get rid of them immediately. You’d really hope they were making plans to reduce their office estates over the next few years and shift more people to wfh, but corporate inertia is hard to overcome, so who knows?

          Not on a lot of leases, and on the ones where you can, there tends to be fees and a pile of paperwork. Yes, sufficient foresight would have seen the possibility that needs might change, but foresight is in surprisingly short supply in general. For those who can sublet, as I said, corporate inertia is hard to overcome. The businesses that thrive will be the ones who find a solution that works for both the business and the employees.

    They really should be trying to figure out how to sell thier empty desks space before someone else does. And cripple the costs. First to sell wins. Last holds the bag.

    It’s not even “their money” to spend.

    If it was their money (and they were competent - admittedly, a bold assumption), they wouldn’t have bought that office space to begin with.
