Capital One looks to shed big suburban office
“The credit card giant has its nearly 165,000-square-foot Rolling Meadows space up for sublease as it plans to move some of its suburban employees into the city while others will work remotely even after the COVID-19 pandemic.”

One thing that hasn’t been discussed much is that the suburbs can be walloped by work from home just as much as the city. Very few companies will be able to do 100% remote, but sending the interactive public facing employees downtown and making the back office workers remote is a very real outcome.
I think the Chicago Tribune is a valid voice of Midwestern suburban residents, but it can’t really capture the attitude of people who came to the city of Chicago to escape that lifestyle and mindset.
That’s been the central tension in the Chicago area. There’s no doubt the companies would prefer to be based in Lake and DuPage, but the white collar Big 10 and Ivy grads they most want to hire won’t come to them.
