      That makes no sense. Commercial landlords collect rent regardless of how often employees are on site.

      The real reason for RTW policies is that companies want to downsize without firing workers (and thus without paying unemployment). Hence:

      Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told staff they will need to be back in the office full-time, seemingly pushing 73% of his colleagues to consider quitting over the move

      Stankey said 85% of them already lived near one of the offices. The remaining 15%, he said, will have to “make decisions that are appropriate to their lives.”

        Two of my previous employers went out of business or are on their final thread and moved out to some small office somewhere. Those buildings have each been vacant for about 2 years now. Can’t collect rent if no tenants
