Nobody wants to work anymore /s
People can be paid better, given better hours, more flexibility, more responsibilities, less responsibilities, better benefits, etc.
If lots of people don’t want to do a job, and that job has trouble keeping quality employees, it’s the job that’s broken, not the people.
Plenty of people were treated great when WFH, but it’s not a universal truth that everyone was.
- izacus 1y agoDuring COVID, developers were among the highest comped individuals in US, could work from home, could work flexible hours. So concretely, what more could they give? How much is the comp that wouldn't get abused?

- const_cast 1y agoThere's this strange belief that work (labor) isn't like other types of goods and that a good pay should result in above-and-beyond performance. Rather than that pay simply just being the cost of labor. When eggs went up from 4 dollars to 8, nobody expected them to taste twice as good. That's just what they cost now. But when developers go from 80,000 to 160,000 on average or something (arbitrary numbers), people do expect them to work twice as hard. Otherwise, they're abusing their employer. As if employers even could be abused.
