I don’t get the vehemence on these threads. If you don’t like it, work for someone else. There is and always has been massive diversity in tech work arrangements.

And when I look at job openings, the vast majority still list “remote” for engineers and technical roles.

It’s painful to see the most entitled industry in the world angry that they have to switch companies sometimes…
