@RVLara23 @nixCraft it is SO frustrating.

I'm like, a hipster remotee. I was effectively full time remote since around 2015 until my boss was trying to tell me they don't do that, and I have to go to the office 3 days a week. He offered no compelling reason why, so I got a new job that had remote in the description.

I feel like tech workers have demonstrated that office life is a joke, and now it's incumbent on us to refuse acceptance of a stupid paradigm.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

@jq @nixCraft the problem though is I think WFH as an option is quickly dwindling away.

And I'm no idiot. It's 3 days now. Then it'll be 4 next yr. And before you know it, WFH is gone again completely. They're not walking this back.

And for what? For a large percentage of workers it is a totally unnecessary part of the job. Wasting time & money for a commute again. Control is all I can come up with.

I'm very disappointed in my coworkers for just accepting it instead of fighting back.

@RVLara23 @nixCraft I won't argue that it seems to be a trend. All I can suggest is that the top 1% need us more than we need them.

It's not up to them to decide they're "not walking this back," it's up to those of us who can to insist on it with our legs.

I am not blind to the reality that some workers lack the ability to push back for one reason or another. I live one month at a time myself. But if you can't unionize, you can always try to interview.
