Even before the pandemic, office attendance was beginning to wane, because there is no value in wasting 3 hours a day commuting and sitting in a loud, poorly-ventilated office where it is impossible to concentrate. There are now tech companies that never had an office and hire people from all over the world. This doesn't bode well for large cities such as NYC. They should convert all this empty office space to low-income housing. Who will pay for that I'll leave as an exercise to the reader.
Well it's not THEIR choice. The employers making the decision if people can work from home or not. Up until this latest wave, the banking sector were demanding that their workers return to the office. I know my old bank colleagues were back to working downtown. Quite simply, if people are just going to stay home and work, NYC will continue its decline of empty storefronts and more homelessness to the point of no return.

I know I love when people argue but I can work from home. You're an employee. It's not your choice. They want you there so You either go there or you quit.

Right but Adams needs to understand it's not his choice either.
Telling a company if you don't have people back at the office businesses around you will fail isn't motivating them to do anything.
As someone else kindly mentioned it actually is...
American workers have their choice to downsize or move out of NYC in particular. They can also choose not to support sending their kids to NYC colleges or help pay overpriced Manhattan rent for their kids.
Consumers and Workers can exercise their choice to not be a slave to a system that doesn't serve them adequately.

This argument would have been valid in the year 1995.

Yeah, and the problem is that those jobs dependent upon over-taxed, overworked office professionals wasn't great margins anyways.
You send everyone back and now you have a rotating cast of 20% out sick constantly and 5% dead by end of year. Well I guess for many companies with Jack Welsch Management Styles that's just fine... I mean the 5% part anyways

Well it IS their choice. It's an employees' market and many workers would rather quit than go back onsite. It's childish if Adams thinks employees can be forced to come back if their CEOs make them:

American workers also have their choice to be poached by other companies/competitors that are willing to let them work from home (WFH). There are corporate recruiters trolling job boards with offers of long term WFH arrangements.
