> Software engineers would rather quit than return to the office
Either the level of entitlement is shocking or the article title is delusional. There are thousands of ppl in the market looking for a job and would happily take one to feed their family. It's high time techies get a grip of real life than live in their echo chamber.

- AlotOfReading 2y agoThe average job tenure in the tech industry is what, ~2 years now? If return to office means a return to precovid norms, most people aren't returning to the same jobs they had because it's been almost 5 years.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoThen they're not returning to office, and the comment doesn't apply to them.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoThe video you're responding, as well as every other usage of the phrase, includes these people in the definition of "return to office", so I'm not sure why you're intentionally trying to use a different, somewhat nonsensical definition.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoI'm not sure why you're intentionally trying to redefine the word "return" or miss the point. If you were never somewhere, you can't return to it. Period. Your assertion about "every other usage of the phrase" is absurd. If people were hired with the assurance that the job would always be work-from-home, then they have a legitimate gripe. They are the ONLY ones who have a legitimate gripe. That is all.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoI'm not sure if there's some English as a second language issue going on, but descriptive phrases don't have to be strictly literal. In this case, the subject is the workforce as a whole "returning", not the individual employees.
- DidYaWipe 2y agoYeah, I don't know. Maybe as your English studies continue you'll understand the literal and subtle meanings better.

- saelthavron 2y agoOr they just have different experiences than you do? For the positions I've been in, the drive into the office is just a waste of time. Most of the people are in different locations resulting in virtual meetings anyhow. Companies are realizing this and are going remote where they can because they find it difficult to find people locally or convince people to relocate. The "entitled" are just exercising their option to work places which better fit them.
