A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I agree with this whole heartedly. I think the issue, remote or at work, comes down to the fact that it isn't the workers making the choice, but their boss. For me, I don't do tech work, so I have to go into work because I'm legitimately doing work with my hands. And I like it that way. I know that if I had to work from home, I would become miserable QUICK. That's just my personality.
But the choice is made from up high, from people who don't give two shits about the workers. As with all things.
Workers have power though… although I guess mostly though if you’re either in tech or in a union. Or both.
