Let's show them that the tables have turned. I understand that for many, holding out is not an option. For those of you in this situation, be the best damn employee that your boss has ever seen, and when you've become so irreplaceable, you tell them that you're going to start working from home, and if they don't like it, they can get ducked. If you don't have the power now, you can blue ball them in the future. I believe in you.
Here's the thing that I got from this. Few labor contracts are legitimate absent unionization and UBI. These corporations have decided to use the threat of homelessness as a form of coercion for you to bend to their will. They simply can't admit that commercial real estate is a sunk cost, and that the conversion of these buildings to residential housing would cause rents to go down, forcing these lazy lords to work just as hard you. For all the complaining about government inefficiency I hear, the inefficiency of corporations paying for real estate and forcing needless commuting, is not talked about enough. For those who complain about vaccine mandates, why are return to office mandates not in the same sentence? If you think the office allows you to build relationships better, fine. You can commute to build those relationships, but why should we have to do the same if we're just as productive? It's not about productivity, relationships, connections, or career building. It's about control. Don't forget that.
