    You would think that of all people, rich CEOs would understand the concept of the sunk cost fallacy.

    The money on desks, rent, insurance, etc. is already spent. You’re not getting it back. Asking people to come back to the office “so that it doesn’t go to waste” assumes that you aren’t taking on additional costs for people coming to the office.

    You now have worn carpet, doors, pens, paper, etc…money you could have saved if you weren’t such a knob.

      Are you really suggesting that you expect CEOs to be competent? Scamming people and exploiting workers doesn’t require skills, except if immorality is one.

        Immorality is sadly a skill, ignoring that voice in your head that says “This doesn’t feel right, we can’t go othrough with this” and the one that says “Look what we’re doing to them!?! We have to make this right!”

        Is very hard to do for people like you and I.

      I’d expect that of someone who has to make hard decisions and work hard to get where they are.

      A Nepo-Baby is neither of these things.
