Amazing how people want the office culture and cube life to continue.

I've been on both ends of the spectrum and the remote work life is far superior to any office setting. A phone or video call is just a few clicks away. As long as I get my work done, there are no issues of how, when, where, or how much I work.

At this point, what's the reason for keeping the office space?
s.mill hokie • 01/11/23 03:59 PM ET
Or paying taxes?**

Makes sense. I'm interested to see long-term uses of unused office space.
