   Layoffs are a very normal thing for businesses to do. There is nothing "cowardly" about it. Would you rather them never hire them in the first place?

   Where is there a successful socialist economy that produces innovative products that impact the whole world? I'll wait for you answer.

   These workers have a better gig that 99% of Americans. They certainly have "self-determination". If they can run it better than Zuck they are free to try, believe it or not.

   There are hundreds of phone choices made by 10+ manufacturers. What lack of competition are you referencing? You can still buy a flip phone if you want. The harm to innovation is not today, but in the future for some as-of-yet built product

   If people wanted replaceable batteries in the US, companies would sell them. There's big conspiracy here. They just don't matter to most people. And this regulation is really bad and will harm innovation for very little to no valu

   Again. If you think you can do your job remotely 100%, then there is no reason why someone in South America can do your job for 20% of your salary. Think about it.

   I agree. I don't really think "monitoring" is the reason for RTO. I think quality of work and collaboration is.

   If management is useless then it should be trivial for you to replace them. I wish you luck!

   You do, in fact, have the agency to get another job. So no, you are not "forced" to RTO at all.

    I work from home, champ. No sour grapes here. Try again, and please engage in the argument, don't throw personal attacks. The UK? The UK has 0 innovative companies. No silicon valley. Nothing. If you want American to be like them, no t

    Yes, they are outliers. Or they are coasting. Again (and again). There is a reason why YC and the top, most innovative companies are in person.

    This point is directly aimed at those who view the RTO efforts as a class issue (owners vs workers). There is an entitled POV in many WFH debates.

    I'm not sure I understand the point. The vast, vast majority of jobs simply cannot be done remotely. So I have little patience for the entitlement of people thinking they "deserve" it or yell about conspiracy theories about w

    I think these conspiracy theories about RTO are really unhelpful and actually harmful to the viability of hybrid work arrangements. Please work in a day as a oil rig technician or a nurse. "I should be able to work anywhere and my empl

    Gotcha. There was definite over hiring that happened during covid so some of this was a return to normal I think.

    I mean, maybe. But a company that spends all of it's time "surveilling" their employees rather than adding value will go out of business. So I'm not sure what the point really is when people bring this up when talking ab

    What do you mean by "monitor and control"? Should an employer not be able to see what their employees are doing at work? What is an "excuse" for a layoff, exactly?
