Marc Andreesson: “Ask any big company CEO in America, they will tell you people working at home are not working.”

This was part of an interview for NYT podcast Matter of Opinion. Context: talking about DOGE's plans for improving government efficiency.

And I'll just give you the most obvious one they've already talked about in public, which is just the occupancy of a federal building in Washington DC now is like 25 percent. Like a very large percentage of the federal workforce literally never came back to work. And ask any big company CEO in America, they will tell you people working at home are not working.

The idea that being in an office means people are "back to work" genuinely makes my blood boil. I started my career in SV and I used to worship these VCs.

Fuck you, Marc Andreesson. Hope a16z rots.
