The expectations of some bay area landlords when renting space in their own home are bonkers
I've seen it all: not allowed to use the kitchen, not allowed to have guests, curfews, some are even contingent on not allowing the tenant to be there on the weekend at all.
output only slows down because companies don't want to adjust how they work. its a complete skill issue if you cant manage a remote org. if a company/team is already spread out across multiple offices, its a remote org
There’s truth here. They don’t want to. It’s easier and more tried and true to just go back to what worked before wfh. Even multiple offices face some challenges working together. Always have. But usually there’s some systematic way of organizing the offices so most the function is together. As example, I’m a CFO and usually have my key teams (various teams of accounting and finance functions) in the same office. 90% of their work/communication/collaboration is amongst themselves. Being together does help.
None of that will address the fact that China is intentionally engaging in mercantilism and keeping the value of the yuan low to maintain export volumes. cutting 100k jobs will shave 1k off the production cost of a car, china has like a 6k advantage.
