Hum, some parts are obviously reasonable: there are a certain amount of reactionary people in all modern society (like probably in any society) and for relevant cohorts they mostly concentrate in management. BUT some parts are obviously crazy IMVHO: hybrid work is a no go: - for a company it means still having office costs, BUT for an up-front unknown number of workers witch inevitably means less used but fully paid offices, plus extra costs for extra gears because not everything can be moved back&forth; - for a worker means being tied to a geographical location, typically a city, where typically density do not allow amazing gardens and individual homes, plus the need to move gears back&forth - for both means creating issues between cohorts of workers who do not "meet" much each others, a "pro-office cohort" who tend to work as a team ignoring those from remote and a remote one who tend to be quicker and chatty ignoring the in-office one. What I do not read, nor I do not found in wide public debates are other and IMO much more important and uncomfortable issues that NEED to be discussed carefully: - WFH must not means "smart working" in the sense "get this craptop and craphone and work the f* you like" but rent a room to your company/from the worker with proper services and safety (for instance locked door to avoid judge-cat or couples having sex during a work meeting, to cite famous recent episodes), so it must be a SERIOUS choice for BOTH party involved: the worker MUST provide a home office, the company must pay it's use; - WFH have bug "market" issues: skilled workers normally haven't much of them, but the total fraction of eligible remote workers in majority have them; if you live in a cheap country you can earn less and still having a good life. Witch means on one side a legal/fiscal nightmare with companies trying to hire people from third world countries, some workers from the west migrating "just a bit south" and an overall fall in quality of anything we already seen here and there, for workers a salary war with all the premise to be a modern slavery war; - for society WFH for all eligible ON SCALE means a little big revolution that depopulate cities, pushing non-eligible workers like downtown bar/restaurants, cleaning services etc, no one know where. Witch means BEFORE starting a stampede like covid-era flee with so many facing "unexpected" (obvious) issues like "holy crap my mountain home ADSL is reeeeealy slow!!!!" and beyond a plan to figure out how things will change need at least a public debate and analysis; - property values change are also an important issue: people who own homes/flats in towns will suffer and some will be in trouble creating another potential societal issues with few sharks that try another estate bubble.
