You know, work from home would help clear that office space, but we can't have that. Too much power to the employees, why would they.

A lot of those executives own real estate and need to keep those numbers up. I wonder how long before we pay people to sit in offices just so they can inflate their value.

Wait a minute...

It's not about office space. They built a new office which somehow doesn't have enough capacity for everyone but it's still mandatory two days a week. It's just micromanagement at this point.
