Why do so many organizations seem to have such a poor grasp on estate management that you keep hearing the same story again and again? Maybe the question should be: why is it apparently so common for leadership to make wide ranging policy without arming themselves with the most basic data, which should be easily available? It's not even a bigcorp thing. I've seen it personally somewhere that has nothing in common with GM.
LIRP/ZIRP prevented the market from weeding out businesses and practices that should have failed. Any time the business world seems incongruous with basic assumptions, LIRP/ZIRP is the culprit.

Oh, and also ironically, we just hired a bunch of Silicon Valley people who get to be 100% remote, along with some execs in HR, DEI and the like that are weirdly all in Denver. These announcements came roughly in the same time frame as the new RTO mandate, which is especially insulting because a number of people hired in 2021 and 2022 were hired as fully remote, but if they live within 50 miles of a major office center (not counting assembly plants) they were all redesignated as hybrid or in office, without their consent. This means that some of my coworkers now have 40 mile commutes and needed to figure out much more complicated child care, since they get to spend hours on the road that could have been used to pick kids up at reasonable times. Gotta love the double standard.
This is the worst of all worlds.
