The labor market overall is tight but tech is in an employment recession so employers currently have power. Do what you need to do to put yourself in a position where you can bail and jump to a remote employer at the first opportunity. If the majority does this, companies will have to change or die. Going back to the office because of the current power dynamic is ok but getting complacent and not using your most powerful weapon, jumping to another job, is now the RTO folks win longterm.
