This is the thing. Remote work as an option helps everyone. Lower costs for the employer, happier employees, the people who do want to work in an office have a better time because it's less crowded, the people who need to care for kids or parents have an easier time...it's entirely a win for everyone.

Except real estate companies, and therein lies the problem.

It doesn't benefit them, though; they just prefer it.

There are tons of people who prefer it but don't actually get any benefit out of it.

I've never met an overbearing middle manager who was pleasant. Every single one, without fail, has been a complete grouch and terrible to be around.

Okay, I thought you were talking about the employees, not the manager.
