Commercial offices and real estate in big cities is fucking expensive. Like $100/year per square foot for nice office space at the peak. Each employee probably requires a minimum of 100sqft average to account for offices, conference rooms, etc. 10k x 1000 = 10m/year per 1k employees.
Figure like 1m or 2m a month per 1000 employees after you factor in all the other maintenance and required stuff for an office that size.
I would be surprised if they are not sitting anywhere from 70-100m/year of real estate costs.
Maybe 30-60m/year if they didn’t build out office space for their employees hired during the pandemic or got fantastic lease terms (which if they did, they would probably be subletting at a profit).
If you want to break your lease, in this commercial real estate market, guess what? Tough shit. You can pay the lease in its entirety or sublet the space.
