@freediverx @nixCraft … which was already very clearly explained by late Steve Jobs in an interview. Around 1:35 is exactly what happens over and over. https://youtu.be/P4VBqTViEx4?si=QjDi3RiElUqyn2NK #marketing #productdesign #BeanCounters

This misses two powerful $$$ motivations:

* Most companies have either long term office lease obligations and / or have invested a shit ton of money in their own buildings

* Many corporations have received tax breaks for filling offices with people in a certain municipality, state, country or whatever

#wfh fucks this up for the #beancounters. In the long term WFH might appeal to the beancounters again, but not in the short term.

Employees are being marched back to the office. But why?

The f**king accountants crappy portal software won't let me add invoices without f**king emailing them with a full "contract" and they then add that organization to the system manually like it's 1992. Can I not add a client company myself? Can I not just invoice someone as a one off for freelance stuff? I had accounting software that could do that in 2012. WTAF? What am I paying these fuckers €200 a month for? 🤬😡🤬😡
