Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities, highlighting the potential losses that landlords are facing from post-pandemic changes in employment trends.
My new COO invited a few of us out individually to get a grasp on why people are leaving and how we can retain people. He really did suggest a ping-pong table. I think all of us set him straight that we couldn’t care less about that. I broke my personal record last month for hours worked in a week. It was over 75. If I leave, it will be because of that. Not because we don’t go to baseball games as a team, or don’t have a Foosball table.
This is so frustratingly common. I worked for a company I loved and it got bought out by a company I hated. When people (including me) started quitting, the CTO said “but why? We have video games in the break room.”
Large companies are often run by crazy people, I guess.
700 billion of that is pingpong tables and fridges
