The Office As A Perk?

Jun 20, 2020 | Posted by Jeff Weil | Commercial and Business Insurance, Commercial Real Estate, Commercial Tenant Improvement Contractor, millenials, Office Furniture Vendors, Office Space, Real Estate Landlords, Tips for Tenants, Trends, Workspace |

To quote Michael Tannenbaum, CFO of BREX, “Think of the office as a perk what you offer…when you start to think of it has a perk, you can start to say, are we getting the value out of this office relative to other things we can be offering?”.  I have to totally disagree with this statement. It is not true across the board. What if you lived in the suburb, getting up early, getting dressed in business casual, hoping to snag a parking space at the Bart or train parking lot, to take public transit to work, sitting with your mask in a crowded train or Bart car filled with strangers, who knows if any of them tested positive, and then when you get to your office you have to stand in a line that stretches out the lobby and around the block, waiting for an elevator with no more than four in a cab, to get to your 35th floor office, where before you enter you have to have your temperature taken and answer questions. Then you have to worry about a coworker getting too close or being careless about wearing their mask, and a few days later you get a serious fever. Compare this with the alternative of staying at home in your pj’s, saving hours in not comuting, and safely working remotely. Which one is the perk?
