Who the heck is actually for this aside from OC transpo exec, and downtown business owners?
Drives me crazy reading comments where people complain that it’s about time these lazy workers go back to the office.
The crab in a bucket mentality is pathetic.
For the record I am not directly affected by this, aside from being a victim of the increase in traffic.
I think the RTO is a major misstep being pushed by commercial real-estate lobbyists in Queen’s Park, trying to avoid major impacts to the commercial real estate market. Personally, even my company (one of the largest alternative energy providers in North America) has been incredibly lax on their hybrid model, they’ve shuttered at least 2-3 office spaces in Canada in the last five years, and I don’t expect that trajectory to change. Of course, this is personal experience, but personally I would say the cards show that Hybrid/Remote is going to win out eventually.
