Congrats to Microsoft for being honest about remote work. I'm tired of hearing this bullshit that all corporate jobs need to be in office all or part of the time. Most do not, due to the nature of the work and the fact that most corporations aren't only located at one site, but many over multiple states and countries. We were heading there before the pandemic. The benefits of remote work far outweigh local tax and commerce benefits, but my old company maintained this bullshit narrative that "corporate culture" was the reason and not that they paid a buttload for their buildings and made political promises around occupancy, taxes, and employees contributing to the local economy. Time to realize that it's a new world and we don't need 2/3's of the office space most companies maintain.
