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
I wonder about this too. I also worry that this will accelerate the trend of jobs becoming gigs. It seems easier for employers to isolate remote employees and force them to work as contractors or gig workers.
