Real reasons why tech giants are hugging “Remote Work”
Cynical but in a dumb way.  A moment of thought will tell you that lost productivity by being all remote outweighs the benefits money that the FAANGs are saving.  If they could just shovel that money they&#x27;re saving to the employees to get that productivity back, they would.<p>A smarter cynical take would be that it&#x27;s more likely that 1) they know their employees don&#x27;t want to risk COVID-19, 2) they don&#x27;t want to risk their employees getting COVID-19, but not for the reason he states but instead because that people worried about getting sick at the office are less productive, and 3) they want their precious little cash cow employees back producing milk at full speed as soon as they can.
