    Who cares about the environment when we could be hoarding more money. Can anybody please think about those poor CEOs? :(

      CEOs can make more money by offloading office costs to the employee - if your work force is remote, you don’t need to pay for an office space.

      This increases your profit, because your expenses are lower.

        But you can’t invest all that stolen money in inflated office building real estate prices either.

        And it also helps the employees cause they can claim part of their living expenses for business use

          Not in the US. They took that away, I think with one of Trump’s “tax cuts”. Now you can only claim it if you are a business (like a contractor or an independent lawyer).

      Our CEO is making more money by getting rid of our large, empty office space, giving us yet another advantage over our competitors.
