    I’m anything but a soothsayer, but we’re already seeing remote work become a pretty important factor in people choosing employers, and it seems like most of the larger players in their respective industries are the ones trying to force people back into the office.

    I could see this become a huge boom for low-mid tier companies that are able to put in more affordable offer packages but with work from home options attached and pry away talent from the high tier companies.

    This could go a long way towards hopefully rebalancing the scales for quite a few things and hopefully reeling in some of these companies who have been able to take so much for so long.

      Exactly this. Companies that offer remote work are going to get their pick of employees, while companies that live in the past are going to subsist on what’s left. Remote work can easily substitute for a huge amount of pay, because for a lot of employees that pay cut is less than what they’ll save by not having to live in, say, San Francisco.

    Amazon has done way worse stuff to employees and they’ve not rebelled. They will 100% hold fast on 3 days in the office and be happy to see the back of anyone who leaves over it.

    I’m not even talking about the abuses of drivers and warehouse workers. I’m talking about their tech offices. They are notorious for their hard driving long hours, darwinian culture, and aggressive managers.

    A lot of people were bragging about using their mouse wigglers, running errands while working or having multiple remote jobs during the pandemic. What did they think it’s going to happen?
