They gotta get people back in those vacant, downtown offices somehow. If California can eliminate the savings that remote work brings for an employer, then maybe employers will choose to fill up those offices they are leasing.
But instead, this will just be a signal to any employers still on the fence to get out of California as soon as you’re able.
I work remote. I’m happy to work remote. And for that convenience, I’m willing to accept that there are some costs - electricity, water, heating and cooling - that I’m taking on. Why the government (and my fellow voters who choose to empower their government in this way) doesn’t allow me the agency to choose my own employment cost-benefits and trust that I can take care of myself continues to baffle.
