It's interesting to see how each article on this progressively de-emphasizes the climate aspect and foregrounds the RTO aspect. Judging from crowd response and placards at the event, though, climate concerns were more important than that.
I suppose it's easier to write an article about "tech workers want their cushy jobs to remain cushy" and harder to write an article about "tech workers want their employer to do better for the world".
People are unhappy about RTO, to be sure, but it's the kind of thing they're accustomed to dealing with via individual action.
- whateveracct 3y agoYes, the anti-remote worker propaganda is ramping up. "Laptop class" is a punchy bit of populist rhetoric I've seen slung around. Perfect for angering blue collar workers and business owners alike.
