    Friendly reminder to not quit when stuff like this happens. It is often a way to get rid of staff without having to pay unemployment (you can usually still file but they're betting you won't).

      If you've got another, better job lined up? Most people don't just walk off the job. They polish their resumes and start looking around on LinkedIn or wherever, where swarms of headhunters and recruiters are waiting.

      I watched my department hemorrhage half a dozen people inside the first two weeks back in the office. They all went to employers with full remote positions.

          Wouldn't it be inevitable to a certain extent? Companies with huge (unnecessary) real estate costs will have less profit over time and will be consumed by those that don't.

        Nothing wrong with getting a better job, of course. Just want to counter the tendency of people to say, "fuck I can't commute there I've gotta resign now", which unfortunately does happen.
