The boss of the world’s biggest commercial landlord has accused remote workers of staying away from the office because it means they “don’t work as hard” and can save money.
Steve Schwarzman, the chief executive of investment firm the Blackstone group, made the claims about hybrid staff while speaking on a panel at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In remarks first reported by Bloomberg, he said employees had kept working from home because “they didn’t work as hard, regardless of what they tell you” and also due to the savings they make on their daily commute, lunches and work attire.
Let's assume for the sake of argument he's correct. So fucking what? Wealth concentration is wage theft. Profits are at historic highs. They owe it to the workers to put down the fucking whip. It's better for the environment. Every worker who wants to telecommute (in jobs where it's possible) should be allowed to do so. It's unethical not to. It should be made illegal, IMO.
There are no metics to support any drop in productivity. There are lots of metrics to support making people go back to the office is bad for the environment. The traffic were I live is pretty much back to what it was before. It's gross just watching the haze of fumes knowing it is there so these dickheads can maintain their property portfolio.
Ah, yes, a man with a vested interest in seeing offices full to capacity can clearly be trusted to tell the truth here.
Someone is confusing hard work with productivity. Fucking dinosaur.

It’s almost as if people enjoy having extra disposable income!
"It's very important to me that you head into a large and expensive to rent office. Don't ask me why."
We should remove these people from all levels of power. They are not fit to be in charge of anything, ever.
Obviously, the dude owns commercial real estate. Of course he's talking shit about people that don't want to go to the office.
I'm never going back to an office. Started my own business and never looking back. Information workers don't need offices, period.
Dude probably can't wait to replace his own office staff with AI. Tell him to eat shit.
Remote workers can live in locations with cheaper rent. Blackstone has invested far too much money buying up overpriced housing in densely populated areas to allow that. A spread out population is bad for their bottom line.
Such bullshit.
These old fux just want to control people.
Imagine a landlord telling the people who actualy do real work they don’t work as hard as a landlord.
Bro, I work harder than landlords in my sleep.
Selfish prick wants more money for themselves. story at 11.
The irony of the hedge fund boss that owns the world's largest corpo land lord complaining about WFH employees not doing real work
Headline in a reality literate world: "Remote employees 'don't work as hard' says obscenely biased and out of touch person with a vested interest in the abolishment of remote work."
The evidence says otherwise. He can go fuck himself. I personally prefer going in but I understand people wanting to work from home or at the very least do hybrid work. Childcare is fucking expensive and if you can work while watching kids, that can really help combat the massive rise in housing costs.
I can't wait to see these billionaires dragged out of their bunkers and eaten.
Oh shit! And does the CEO of Tyson think vegetarians are malnourished?
You know who actually doesn't work hard at all? steve schwarzan. Fuck these lazy ass execs and share holders. I think we outta put em all in metal tubes and drop em in the ocean.
Well he can go fuck himself.
I mean, at work I'm probably just going to play Pokemon on my phone until an actual assignment shows up, then do it and back to Pokemon.
If I worked from home I can't imagine I would do my job any differently, except it would probably be playing Pokémon Violet on the switch instead of Pokemon Masters on my phone
Steve Schwarzman of the Blackstone group can fuck all the way off.
This revolting bottom feeder, Steve Schwarzman, would say that. He's a commercial realtor, if remote working takes off he loses out. What else would he say?
and can save money
God bless the chief of Blackstone don't care about money as us petty workers.
did this dipshit ever hear the term "work smarter not harder"
I think he sounds like a loser
Who cares. Go back to being a fuckboy.
The boss of the world's biggest commercial landlord
In other words, they make their money via passive income.
has accused remote workers of staying away from the office because it means they "don’t work as hard"
The world is so full of hypocrisy that...maybe he thought no one would notice (?)
Well they don't work as hard...
When you factor in things like getting ready for work, commuting and even just the emotional labor that goes into dealing with workplace idiots face to face and keeping up appearances, it makes perfect sense
