If you've ever worked at one of these big companies with fancy buildings, it's interesting that in the end, they're the same depressing row after row of cubicles, or "shared working spaces"
The architecture might look neat outside and upfront, but otherwise it's just sad and boring inside the actual working area.
Big thing about RTO is that these places just suck to be at. Quality of workspaces have been going down for years as they try to cram more and more people into less space.
We finally get a reckoning that a lot of people can just work from home and the economy won't blow up, but instead, rich folks want people back in the torture zones.
I read an older book called "The Mythical Man-Month" a while ago, and one thing that stuck with me is that the guy is speaking about engineers having offices.
I never had an office to myself!
