  • Some companies are doing it to create a hostile workplace to increase attrition. If an employee quits, they don’t have to pay unemployment or severance. Other companies have huge investments in corporate real estate. They have been sitting on short-term loans that are coming due. The property owners are keeping their real-estate values artificially high, but to one wants to rent/lease them, so they aren’t as valuable as in practice as they look on paper. Some companies get tax breaks from cities to put their offices there and will not continue to reap those rewards if their workers are not coming into the city. Don’t let them gaslight you about culture or face time because that has all been debunked. A lot of remote workers are coming in to the office and sitting on Zoom/Teams calls in their cubicles.












  • Not the point, though. This is classic Microsoft. It’s Lucy with the football telling Charlie Brown she won’t pull the ball away this time. They seduce the devs to their tools or protocols by “cooperating” and “openness” and then they subvert whatever they joined so the devs are stuck in their ecosystem. A lot of them get away, but a lot stay behind or try to make it work. Every time, they trap a bunch. Maybe the way an Eden’s Whale feeds is a better analogy. I’m sure there’s a perfect analogy somewhere. Maybe I just like coming up with analogies.
