What always get me is that they don’t want you to talk to each other. People get in trouble all the time for that. They want you doing something more productive, this isn’t a social club, etc., etc. Either they want to micro manage you or your building is losing money being empty. That’s it, those are the two reasons they want you back.
It’s the building. Covid has shown that middle management is pointless, people work fine without it. If you can not hire them, why would you? On the other hand if you invested millions into a building you now cannot do anything with - that’s a huge problem. Buildings need to be used to maintain value, otherwise you get countless issues that won’t get caught, happening silently in the background. You probably might have long term contracts for renting a space. You don’t get to break that contract for free either.
The thing is I need my middle management to fight upper managments mess. You can’t have me go direct to upper management with my verbiage. You think these people can read on a 5th grade level?
