This is the real reason for companies wanting people back to the office.

All this talk about collaboration and team spirit is just the publicly given reason for wanting people back to the office.

The real reason is that now the owners of the buildings are losing money.

Cry me a river.

RTO/WFH definitely impacts tech workers the most, I think that’s just obvious.

The pandemic triggering a cultural shift to WFH is a big part of the problems in the commercial real estate market. Basically, America becoming 10% more technologically sophisticated may have unhinged the financial system. Story about the impact of tech on society, I guess?

The logic seems to be, "if it impacts tech workers or people interested in tech in any way, it's technology".

All I can think about is that Ali G skit about how his friend "ain't got no techmology" and the expert asks "does your friend live in a house? A house is technology."

In a way it is. Modern office buildings are only possible due to technological advancement.

I just ate ravioli. I’m sure they were packaged in an automated fashion. I’m gonna now post about ravioli in c/technology since it’s all the same. For now here’s some recipes https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/ravioli-recipes-thatll-fill-you-with-joy/

Where's the meandering SEO-optimisation backstory-rambling before the recipe/link?

Please write it with writing quill technology and send it to me using homing pigeon technology.
