This was inevitable with the downturn and layoffs. When you're desperate for labor and always have a surplus, you just bend to employees. Like the tech bubble in 2000 with people bringing pets to work. Then when the money doesn't come in as fast and you need to shed workers, you stop bending to demand. Because hey, if people leave, well, they'll be someone else who doesn't mind coming into the office.
