Last time I worked with IBM folks I was shocked at how high on the expense hog those folks lived. Sure they got a $$$ contract from their client but the amount of money they were giving to the IBM folks in expense claims was criminal.
My last two roles had management expect you to be in the office because they had spent a lot of money on the rent/furnishing even though 50% of the companies roles could be done remote. Now Ill admit it is easier to walk over to someone's desk to ask a question then the endless are you free email/phone call tags before all this COVID-19
