Is it so hard for them to say, FU, office time now because I like it, or because we want to force attrition, or we bought all this RE and by god we are going to use it?

I mean, if they give the honest non vibe reasons, it would be the same, but at least honest.

Wall Street doesn't care as long as the stock goes up.

Customers don't care as long as they get the product.

And employees can't do anything other than vote with their feet.

So what's the downside of being honest?
