[quote=Coronita][quote=svelte][quote=Coronita]Lol, so things get even weirder….Just in from todays SMT meeting….Since everyone has more or less been working from home/remotely since March, and generally things have worked out ok for us….SMT decided to further save money. We’re not renewing our commercial lease here in SD… We’re going to be 100% remote for the rest of this year. [/quote]

Wow.

But it does make sense.

However, probably the BIGGEST reason to do the above is not to save rent money – it is to minimize liability of COVID running rampant at the office. From what I’ve read companies aren’t too worried about being sued by their employees because there are limitations on that…what they are worried about is the employee getting it at the office and transmitting it to someone else who is not an employee who then in turn sues the company.[/quote]

Maybe.. I think our lease is around $15k/month. So maybe it’s a little of both. It’s not exactly the most expensive expense. There’s also a bunch of incidentals, like running a corporate network, utilities, office perks, keeping an office manager. It adds up. I think we’re going to be taking office furniture home and the office computer(s). I call shotgun on the foosball table and the beanbags[/quote]

Very interesting.

Reminds me of that moment when everyone suddenly got rid of their landline
