These tech companies were never well optimized for such a drastic increase in remote worker. All of their structures, managers, and the way they work rely heavily on in person meeting. I think with companies like that you really do have less job security. There's studies that managers feel remote workers are doing less work because they can't see them working. There is also the problem that there's much less personal distance between you and the manager so its much easier to just fire you. If it even feels like firing a person to them or a face on a screen. That's up to you to decide.
I do think the data shows that people are happier and more productive when they can work remotely. It means less time commuting, less distractions, and reduced cost having to pay for buildings that remain empty at night. It seems like the benefits are numerous but I get why the arrangement doesn't work for every company.
