Absolute nonsense.

First off, employees aren't directly accountable to shareholders. Nor should they be. Company boards are.

Secondly, how about providing a collaborative, remote company culture which enhances productivity and efficency? Which also widens the global hiring pool and doesn't discriminate against those who can't travel for hours a day. For tech companies, forcing their workers in to metal tubes and high-rises for hours a day will never be as purvasive as it is now, and I hope it stays that way.

"First off, employees aren't directly accountable to shareholders. Nor should they be. Company boards are."

In the real world this statement is demonstrably false. Ask the majority of employees in the world, because if they aren't the owner they are working directly for the primary shareholder of the business.
