  Exactly, that's what the big "bad" companies use to force us to do things we don't want, our need for food, housing and a normal life. We're discussing about the majority of people and not for the HN "elite" that have the privilege/luxury of earning hundreds of thousands, thus affording to be picky with their next work positions. I'm working fully remote the last few years and I'm troubled on what is going to happen when the hybrid or RTO call arrives. I'm not in a position to be very picky and for sure I'll try to find another remote job, but as you correctly state: num of people seeking WFH > num of WFH positions

  > Needing to eat and have a roof over your head is a fairly strong reason. Producing food and shelter are quite well suited to being done at home. Once upon a time that was the norm. > The number of people who need to work already vastly outnumbers the number of WFH positions. There is no limit on WFH positions. It is technically possible for everyone to find one. However, you will often be entering uncharted territory to explore them. Commuting to a restaurant to flip burgers, or whatever, is much more well understood and thus carries far less risk. Indeed, the worker will prefer low risk opportunities in the vast majority of cases.
