PEOPLE WON'T WORK IN WAR-TORN CITIES

The economies change radically. The problem with saying everybody has to work in the office is you won't be able to hire the best talent. When we went out for financial services people in our operating company, the best talent told us, "If I have to come into an office and sit in the cubicle and drive for 45 minutes each day into a war-torn city like San Francisco, which we were trying to hire in, I'm not doing it. I don't want to get shot on my way to work."

Safety in large cities like Chicago, San Francisco, you know, some parts of New York City, and LA these days, nobody wants to work in these places. They're war zones. They want to work where they can get their job done, and the reason it works is project management.

If you say everybody has to come to the office, you'll get the third-tier candidates. You're not going to get the El Supremo. Yeah, and I care about talent. I want great team members, and if they tell me, "I don't want to work in an office, but I'm number one at what I do," I'll go with the number one. What a good point! Yeah.
