I'm at a near FAANG sized software company and the CEO literally tells us he knows we will take a hit to productivity. Even goes as far to say "we're profitable, this isn't about profitability, it's about working together".

This is after laying off almost 10% of the company earlier this year.

They just want to be able to pin the mega offices they own onto "expenses for employees" and make the chart look better. Line goes up and all.
