Comment on Return to the office? These workers quit instead.

There it is, buried in paragraph 26:
“He and his colleagues believe that the company’s move was the result of workers’ decision to unionize.”
I’d argue this is not a valid “technology” topic, and is instead more about capitalism, workers’ rights, etc.

Remote work is a product of technology. In this case it’s disrupting work culture: thanks to technology, workers now have the capacity to do productive work at home, and want to continue doing so. Their managers want them to commute to the office, even when that costs more resources, so this is a social aftereffect of a technological disruption.
Really, it’s up to community moderators whether stories of social disruptiion by technology is a paradigm worthy of being reported here, but it is related to technology

As a manager, I don’t care where the hell you are if you’re productive and available when you need to be. And no manager worth their salt in my org currently thinks otherwise.
This is all a game played by C-level executives who want warm bodies in the office chairs they paid money for so the buildings they leased/built are full and look like a hive of activity. It’s Optics + Real Estate + Finance + Status Quo mixed with a bit of “back in my day”.
Don’t forget some of these companies got tax write-offs or rebates by agreeing to lease in a certain city and stimulate the local economy with X number of workers. Then they signed off millions of dollars to build/lease office space and outfitted it with desks and chairs and networking and everything else required.

Removing an article is something Hitler would do. Mods who remove posts are worse than Hitler.
