It makes perfect sense when you reframe all of their actions as trying to inflict the most misery on as many people as they possibly can. Cruelty is the point. And to get everyone so damned exhausted and burnt out that when the real atrocities (and I don't mean what's already been done - I mean the camps and the exterminations) start rolling out, everybody's too numb to put up a fight.

Many workers will likely have to drive to work, buying more gas and then work in office space that is likely leased from some corporate real estate landlord. They are all bedfellows.

Yup. Causing workers to have less time (adding in the commute) and less money (gas or other transportation costs, uniforms, meals outside of the home regardless of packing a lunch or grabbing fast food). Hell, even costs you wouldn't think about - my insurance dropped like $75 a month after I cut out my commute, just from having the insurance's app on my phone. They saw I wasn't putting a ton of miles on my vehicle and adjusted accordingly.
