They are definitely not over staffed. Theres articles out there why accounting is dropping like crazy in college. Everyones joining consulting side.

Perfect time to implement it:

1) All firms are sufficiently staffed at the lower levels because of increased campus hiring the last few years and lower turnover than expected.
2) There are less industry jobs offering full remote than there are people who want them.
3) The economic uncertainty makes it likely that retention will skyrocket already
4) If layoffs are needed the people who don’t show up give the partners a list of people to start the layoffs with.

Literally what my lead partner said would happen 18 months ago: once economic uncertainty hits, force people back because if they quit it’s a good thing.

SA3 — exactly. There is a shortage of people at experienced senior and manager. But there’s also less concern about them leaving because if they stayed during the great resignation, likely to stay now when the economy isn’t as strong.

There’s been no difference in amount of people coming in. The only things that’s changed is everyone now has a recurring reservation for a desk and it’s impossible to find a seat with your team. Kind of counterproductive tbh.

Let's say big 4 do this. I'm 8 years in. Probably one of the experienced professionals they would like to retain. As long as there is a mid major that is still remote I'd jump. The commute is not worth the additional prestige of more years at Big 4.

Think it’s more of a long term consequence - flexibility is one of the only reasons someone might stay as they get older (and have more experience -> more valuable to the firm)

Why the f do we have like 10 floors in the most expensive office market in the world (NYC) that no one uses because we all want to work from home? This is all about getting moneys worth from paying millions a month In rent

Because leases are long term. Believe me as they are expiring, new leases with farrrrr less space are being negotiated.

We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
