>>Too bad the employer wasn’t the one paying the salaries of the employees, then they’d be in a strong position, wait, what?
Exactly.
What I see happening is most private sector employees will eventually be forced back in the office - with some exceptions for some people - but most government employees will end up staying at home.
So now they not only will they (gov employees) get paid for not doing anything, they will be able to do nothing in the comfort of their own homes.
There is no "back to the office" for those who work several states away. Our remote staff is much better than our locals. It's not even close.
It’s going to be the other way around. The private sector is going to migrate to 100% work-from-home operations as leases come up for renewal and companies save tons of money by downsizing their office space. Government workers will be forced back to the office because: (1) the employer doesn’t care about the cost of the space, and (2) they are going to face political pressure to save this nation’s urban dumps.
Yeah?
I’m here in the Bay Area.
How do you see “Back to Work” happening.
Just spoke with several customers who were suppose to be ready for RtO and was informed they will pay for their logo on the outside of the building 1st Qtr or 2nd Qtr but, they will be working from home from now on.
Largest law firm in San Francisco went from 1100 employees on site and 10 floors, down to 2 floors and 100 on site....tops.
roughly 75% of buildings in San Francisco Financial District are empty.
The Financial District taxes accounted for 70% of tax revenue, pre-covid.
Meanwhile, on the Peninsula, about 60% of buildings are occupied.
We ain’t coming back to office, if you can do Zoom or email for most of the day....
The only people who need to be on site is anyone who works with their hands ...
