story seems a bit fantasy to me. not sure if it's really plausible. they all resigned together but the company couldn't find anyone to replace them on linkedin. doesn't correlate with my experiences. in any case would be interesting to know if something like this did happen. i think maybe only in smallish companies where employees have some leverage. in my experience it seems they started treating remote as a more of a one-off privilge, or as a reward. it's no longer seen as a permanent benefit.

Any job opening seems to get a billion weird applicants, so if they really got NONE they either are lying (everyone clapped) or they mean "zero qualified" but even that seems unlikely.

  It reads like a rehashing of the pretext for hiring H1-Bs instead of domestic employees-- they're trying to use RTO resistance as the reason now.

> they all resigned together but the company couldn't find anyone to replace them on linkedin. I would believe that they got zero real applications if the company was underpaying and had a decent number of skilled people who were there out of inertia, which would also account for them all being able to find other jobs quickly. It takes a particular culture, but I've seen things close enough to believe that that could happen.

Even entry level posts on LinkedIn will get a few hundred applicants in day. Leave it up for a week and you might have over 1,000. This is the case for anywhere in the US. Could be the smallest most rural town in the US. If you make a job post requiring in office work there you’ll still get hundreds of applicants.

Well, AFAIK everything there could easily be just invention. But depending on where the company is hosted, I could believe that happened too. It's not like a small company on the middle of nowhere ever had an easy time getting people to apply.
