A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

C. Get rid of what you don't need so that everyone is happy

When you are locked in to a 3/5/10 year lease for the space, that's not actually an option. Most leases signed pre covid should be up by now but clueless management probably renewed anyways.

And the really big corporations own their buildings. You think the company locked into leases are mad? The companies who own the building are pissed! Some have a multi million dollar building that's losing value faster than the speed of light.

No shit. But this is America... You already know that proposition is dead on arrival.

Nihilism is cool and all, but smart thoughtful people are working really hard on this and it’s not easy - unless you create windowless tenements with no plumbing.

First part of finding a solution is admitting to the problem. For the change we need, the wealthy and powerful need to be removed.

What big company owns their building. Most I k ow build it then sell it to a management company then lease the space back. There is some accounting reason for this.

Are sublets not an option?

You mean sell it for money and actually make more profit while everyone is happy? Preposterous!
