Why are so many #layoffs happening? Because it’s easier to let a human go than to wiggle yourself out of a lease. Get creative. Find a way to shed unused real estate and you’ll save way more money and retain great talent at the same time. #peopleoverproperty

What a great event with Robin Daniels and Amina Moreau yesterday. Thanks for coming out, Jeff Sherman , and big shoutouts to Bader Rutter for hosting and Wantable, Startup Wisconsin, and Nick O'Brien for all your support!

The #futureofwork is anywhere AND anytime. It’s about #freedom and #accountability — both of which come from a place of #trust. Companies who have trust as a baseline will thrive.

Whiplash. Amazon reverses its #remote-friendly stance and forces people back to #office. #Flexible employers, get ready to scoop up a mass exodus of #talent. This move is a lose-lose. Expensive + damaging. There are better ways to gather in person. geekwire.com/2023/amazon-ch…

Most companies' biggest expense is payroll, followed by real estate. With so much vacant office space, that square footage is a huge drag on business. An engaged team is always going to be more productive than empty cubicles. Shed your space. Keep your people. #peopleoverproperty

It's problematic to generalize the pain points of #WFH to remote work as a whole, when WFH is just a small slice of the pie that represents #remotework. We need to better align on a few definitions if we’re going to make well-informed decisions as a society.

.@AminaMoreau and I invented a better, cheaper return to office experience. Imagine a team workday in a welcoming daily home office rental. Make coffee in the kitchen, get fresh air in the backyard. Companies like North and R/GA are loving this concept radious.pro

🍕🍟🍔 The traditional office is like an all-you-can-eat buffet: Pay a bulk price for an experience that's designed to satisfy the average. Better hope your party is hungry too. Use it or lose it. Whereas... 🧵👇

From the finance department at a billion dollar company: “We’ve been making more money than we ever have before. #Remotework is rocking and rolling. If it ain’t broke, why fix it?”

10-15% of companies’ top line revenue used to be spent on real estate. Now imagine a world where that money is redirected to giving people raises, investing in employee engagement & boosting productivity, while saving some of that cash at the same time. That world is here.

According to Relogix, peak office space utilization in 2022 was 16%. The average was 10%. Eventually even the most entrenched companies will wake up and realize that having a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-per-week office makes no fiscal sense whatsoever. #goflex

Forcing people to do things they don't want to do in the name of "culture" will only degrade your culture.
