We have the worst office market in the country right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Oh I just meant that companies are continuing to layoff people, move personnel, etc. Making the problem worse for landlords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We're also looking for ways to permanently reduce real estate footprint. There will be a LOT of work from home in the future of my company. That main driver behind it is reducing office space permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the moves of several high profile companies lately to "reign in or restrict" work from home policies, I think that there continues to be a strong push from companies wanting to use it as a way to eliminate (or reduce) office lease expenses.

I work in the TMC and we have a big work-from-home population due to space. Either use it to see a patient to keep the lights on or pay someone to occupy it and reduce space available to see patients. Kind of a no brainier.
