"Dear employees, As you probably know, our C-suite and their golf buddies are heavily invested in commercial real estate. Your absense in downtowns is a grave danger to CRE and our financial future. For this reason, we need you to show up in offices at least every other day.

Truly yours, the Chief Nihilist Officer on behalf of the top management team."
