Bluh, I feel bad for all the office workers I know that are being forced back into working from the office after getting a taste of remote.
Being fully remote since pre pandemic has made me extremely against being forced back into the commute and the noise. Thankful to be working with other fully remote folks!
Though TBH I feel way worse for folks that don't have the luxury of not needing to commute to work. Usually they have to commute even further for even shittier pay and shittier work conditions.
They should at least be offered significantly higher compensation. Pisses me off that folks can't afford to live close to where they work and that so many employers are comfortable with exploitation and destroying people's bodies and minds for short term profits.
@mauve Another reason why public transit should be fast, reliable, and free.
One fun fact is that even though I'm a tech person I've been lower income until pretty recently in my career and most of my friends in meatspace are in the lower brackets.
I get a bit of whiplash when I enter spaces with people making six figure salaries rather than living month to month.
