I have always had this funny feeling that when someone accuses remote workers that they “don’t work as hard,” there is more to it. But it’s not rocket science to figure out what’s behind such words coming from the mouth of someone like Steve Schwarzman, the boss of the world’s biggest commercial landlord—it’s money. It’s always money. Welcome to the world of the one percent. I bet Mr. Schwarzman doesn’t give a damn about the productivity of those working from home. The only thing he cares about is the hard cash that he loses when his office buildings are empty because no one needs to rent them if the staff of many companies work remotely. And just so you know, Mr. Schwarzman, not only do we work as hard, but we are actually more productive when finally free from all the unnecessary distractions inherent in the office. But that would be enough about Mr. Schwarzman. He doesn’t deserve even that much airtime.
