So my company was WFH from 2020-2023, then they started implementing 1, 3 and we now go 4 days a week to the office.

Many competitors, customers, suppliers and industries in general in my region have also followed this RTO trend. Traffic is horrible, open office spaces or reserved system spots with lots of noise just to sit for 8 hrs and be on zoom and outlook are the norm.. Sadly, many of you also know the drill.

Anyways, my company won some contracts and now it looks likely that they'll turn our office building into manufacturing space and management and HR are looking into option on how they'll manage our work spaces. There's a remote chance that we get WFH (at least temporarily) again, but the likely outcome seems like they'll rent offices for us to go to. That's when I learned that this one big customer that is also located in my city also implemented RTO some time ago, but a couple of months ago they saw an opportunity and decided to return their workers to their homes and RENT their offices to other (dumb) companies that are renting offices for their employees... And apparently my company will likely start doing it.

it's just ironic... specially when leadership never misses a chance to tell workers how it critical it is to seek cost reduction opportunities and even have KPIs about it, but they refuse to reduce costs by using remote work (and apparently they could also generate another income Stream from what this customer is doing).

Just wanted to share as it seemed so ridiculously stupid and I know many people here are also struggling with genius corporate leadership/mandates...

there’s this pervasive notion that +EV is just a clean math problem, fair and square, but the reality is that most mistakes that I’ve inflicted on my bankroll are just repeated behavioral doom loops that are ‘intuition’-based and compound really shittily over time. here’s my compilation of worst offenders so far: chasing 0.2-1% edges that I know will be eaten by fees; frequency and quality are all mixed up and that’s no good; constant EV hunting instead of waiting for real edges to appear; ignoring variance (or at least misreading it) or sample sizes, thinking that shit works but it was probably a lucky streak. By no means is this a definitive list, so if you want to add more observations about habits you had to unlearn that actually hurt your game, be my guest. Also, wondering if this hits that differently depending on where you betting, especially on higher-volume setups like mybookie, and what volume you’re running.
