> If I had to think, I imagine the entire point of RTO mandates is to keep cities sustainable.
In a few cases (certainly not all), it's to keep the c-suite's reputation sustainable.
If you're a CEO that signed a lease or construction contract on any piece of property since, idk, 2015, you have, in some way, burned a lot of money on a piece of ground that could have, in many cases, been replaced with a far cheaper internet connection and suite of remote work applications.
You have two options at this point:
1) explain this bonfire of cash to the board and possibly to shareholders, which is a pretty good way to see yourself shown the door
or
2) justify your expense by telling the rank-and-file to get back in the office and make use of the capital you are now locked into having.
