Apple just built the most expensive on-site campus in history prior to the pandemic. It's a 40 year old company led by 50+ year old executives who have built their entire social and family lives around their offices. Obviously they're going to force everybody back to the way it was.
This means nothing for the big shift to remote however. The economic incentives for both companies and employees are just too strong for it not to happen.
It was never going to be led by gray haired execs at legacy companies like Apple. When you're currently the most profitable company in the history of earth, you can ignore otherwise rational incentives. But the key word in that sentence was "currently."
Instead of talking about what the winners of the past are doing, we should be thinking about what the winners of the future will do.
It's important to remember, no company has stayed at the top of the S&P500 for very long.
