80% of the time. Big banks say everyday but with tracking (yes, they are tracking) they want to see employees in the office at least 80% - or 4 out of 5 days.

Why? Isn’t ever other news article about NYC skyrocketing crime? Return to office seems to have limited benefits.

Funny because I work in the RE industry and demand for commercial real estate has fallen sharply. There is a flight to quality but there's still a fall in occupancy. Some markets may be different, Chicago is being badly hammered for example. But I suspect there's some selective data cherry-picking going on with the NY data.

It’s just a different attitude in NY. People are both more ambitious and more of them live in apartments so like going somewhere else to work during the day. We have the same in office requirements in DC and NY, but more people go in in the NY office.

DC had 4:1 way before Covid. The culture is different.

OP is probably in commercial real estate. Of course they care.

What a tool.

You mean the illegals in free hotel rooms?

4.8 million in downtown real estate? What's he own, a hotdog stand?

Loser. Get a social life so you don't crave to go back to the office so you can corner everyone in their office or kitchen and talk our ears off about your 6 cats.

Maybe we’ll consider it when we are all paid like banks.

That is New York City data. Big employees Chase, Goldman all are fully back. The service workers, cops, subway, garbage men are of course in person as well as Broadway. Restaurants, bars.

I was on a business trip NYC back on October 2022 and it was more crowded than DC was in October 2022. I also went there October 2021 and we went to the roof top bar at a hotel happy hour and I was surprised amount of people out. The offices were empty in 2021 but people were going out. DC was empty on 2021

I'm talking about badge data for NYC. Who cares what you think or what you observed? The data is all that matters.

So every single employer in NYC requires electronic badge swiping and is sending that data to some central authority to compile? Sure.

PP here and this is the data set:

"In Manhattan, our data from 200 buildings and 70,000 cardholders represents the full range of New York City office occupiers and is drawn from a much broader set of properties within Manhattan than any publicly available source. This dataset not only includes iconic properties, with nearly two thirds of the sample coming from Class A commercial buildings, but importantly, also includes a range of other buildings that make this reflective of the city’s entire office real estate market."

IF WFH opportunities were in abundance, I guarantee you they wouldn't have taken an offer with our company.

My daughter just got hired “fully remote” FinTech that “grandfathered” existing workers at start of 2024.

They are only hiring new hires near corporate office for mandatory in person Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. I would not count on that “grandfathering” lasting forever.
