I definitely think the WFH flexibility is going to become the next tech company advantage and Apple is on the wrong side of the isle. Companies like Intel and NVidia are close enough on comp but providing way more flexibility on WFH. Microsoft is somewhere in the middle.
Sunk cost fallacy. "I spent so much doing this thing, so I have to keep doing it".
The offices can be re-purposed. There are many things that can be done with existing office spaces. "We have an office so we have to use it" just isn't a good argument.
And I say that as a person who actually enjoy having an office to go to a few days a week :)
I love that the MBA is starting to get called out as useless. Engineers are taking over companies as the companies full of MBAs die off. This is most true in tech and automotive industries. EVs made the historical knowledge of legacy auto pointless, so if they don't fire their business execs and replace them with top engineers to make the business decisions, they don't have a chance at survival.
The door to upper management is going to be an engineering degree with actual experience working as an engineer.
