Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities, highlighting the potential losses that landlords are facing from post-pandemic changes in employment trends.
Now I can see why you popped off, and want to tell about your situation. WFH vs RTO is such an asinine thing, because of how the world is in control of “factory owners”. The ones that hold a grip on you are corporate hierarchy top dogs, one type of “factory owner”. I think your friend either explored his options beforehand, and/or had enough saved in his bank to take the gamble.
I don’t hate capitalism or consumerism or conservatives, regardless; I’m very much in favor of personal freedom, as long as that freedom doesn’t restrict the freedoms of others;
my belief is that everyone should be allowed to choose their own way through this life; to be productive on their terms and decide what they can handle and what they cannot.
For the parasitic managers, HR and other heads, you are trampling on the “office culture” and their parasitic job pay. When you have no socialism or trade unionist politics, and when corporate/government capitalist nexus grows beyond strong, this is where you and millions of others end up with. There is no freedom in a “free” society whose foundations lay in capitalism. USA sells the “freedom in a free society” hotdog to everyone, and people happily eat it up thinking its a free treat.
You either have to suck it up to corporates eternally, or temporarily leech the leeches for a while to be able to make the least risky gambles to lessen your suffering in the future. There is no other way in this system, where capitalism has loaded decks when you have barely any aces to pull. This is why dismantling of Western individualist capitalism is so critical for all of global society.
I live in a family that loves its capitalism and “authority” bootlicking and that frowns on unions. I am from India. I am a mindhacker that feels far too isolated away from this kind of kowtowing, uncritical, slacking society, and have always lived a life trying to help people through the internet. Even gave a chunk of my life everyday the past 3 years to help make Lemmy what it is now, to help dismantle Reddit away (even got few big subs migrated like piracy), and build Fediverse, while doing a lot of other stuff.
