Folks should unionize, and then use that collective power to tell "back to office" mandates to fuck themselves to death.

Shut down AWS and let the world burn until management capitulates. It's not like the soulless husks calling the shots can run the show themselves.

I quit my last job because management wanted us back into the office at first one, then two, then three days a week - all so that we had to commute into an office pointlessly and then either spend the entire day on Teams calls, or just sit at desks writing exactly the same code that we would have at home.

When I accepted my new role, I made very sure that my contract of employment was explicitly set up for full time remote work only.

I wish the best of luck to anyone attempting the same switch at the moment, the job market in general (and especially in tech) is in a crazy situation at the moment.

I know of two L7/Principles planning to quit by January. People with a ton of experience.
