    What has gotten into all these rich pricks recently? I mean are they all of a sudden without PR folks to keep them from saying just absolutely stupid shit.

    Or are they just scared 🤔

      They have poor management skills in the first place and only really luck into where they are, because of this they have zero adaptability and all they see is a bill for unused office space and with all the easy money recently drying up investors are gonna put the squeeze on c-suite pricks who would rather shoot up prices than eat their golden parachute.

      Middle managers are on board because, similarly, they don’t know how to manage remote work and can’t adapt, which should just mean their salary appropriately adjust downward but lol.

      Its common knowledge amongst the rich that we are heading towards a collapse, and ‘emergency villas’ have had booming sales across the last 10 years.

      They know what’s coming, and are going to grab as much as they can before they fly off to their safehouses.

      Jokes on them, psychology says their own armed guards will be taking out their bosses and taking the villas over as soon as shit gets bad.

        Not even just psychology, history says as much do they not know about the Praetorian guard? They killed a lot of emperors because fuck em.

      Economic calamity is currently happening, and the wealthy are about to lose after everyone else has lost for decades. They’re just saying the quiet part out loud, blaming someone else.
