I wish these assholes would just come out and tell the truth: they need you in the office to justify their multi-decade office leases that they can't get out of.

A lot of them are in the real estate business too (ex: Amazon), and the people who rent from them like retail/hospitality, aren't renewing their leases. Tiny violin is playing.
