For the sake of argument, let's say that COVID is over. Let's say that it has been eradicated. OK, awesome. I'm really struggling to wrap my head around the fact why that means we have to round up all of the office workers and force them to return to their little cubicles ASAP, when the past two years have been one of the greatest developments in the workers rights movement since the 40 hour work week.

It really just seems like the bourgeois (and PMC) want to strip away every bit of autonomy over our own lives we've gained since the beginning of this pandemic (and this is just for those of us who are privileged enough to work remotely)

My company literally just announced a plan to phase out hybrid work (two days in the office, three days remote) with the hopes of eventually returning to normal (five days a week in the office).

How is this shit sticking

      These people make up at most 20% of the workforce but they are enough to ruin it for everyone else

      ahh so following the same trajectory of historical outcomes here 😎

        Hey now, some of us are introverts who can't handle being alone with their thoughts all day.

      extroverts who can’t handle being alone with their thoughts all day

      people with no lives outside of their jobs who, before the pandemic, relied on work for all their social interaction

      both of these kinds of people are directly suffering due to living under capitalism and being alienated from any role outside of laboring, and I don't like them being dismissively lumped in with actively problem causing individuals.
