Surprised this is the top comment. It's so oversimplified as to be absurd. What employers are allowed to do is heavily limited. There are countless laws on the books restricting employers in the US. And in many countries in Europe there are far more restrictions. Does that make us not free societies? I don't think so. Companies at scale have a lot more leverage that individual employees so unions and laws are needed to keep them in check. Whether this particular complaint about a lease is in the realm of legal limits is unlikely but you have conflated two issues.

There is a lot of that sentiment on corporate fora ( which includes linkedin ). The general spirit is condescending and words used tend to include keywords like 'entitlements'. It makes me think its a coordinated propaganda effort. I am actually debating starting a project tracking this ( I almost did at the beginning of pandemic after the ridiculous 'commute is your zen time' messaging ).

It's not actually the top comment; HN puts new comments at the top for a few minutes to give them a chance to shine in case it has the information needed to actually dethrone the most upvoted comment.
