Anybody organizing around anti office work?

Remote work has proven to be just as efficient for many industries, yet we have people calling for a return to the office. Writers computer programmers graphic designer is, many people who do work on a computer, can pretty much do that same work from anywhere. This whole idea of returning to the office, I don't understand what's behind it, and I personally don't care. I think we should all be arguing for permanent remote work as an option for anyone who's not physically required to be there, like an auto mechanic or a carpenter. I'd like to know if there any organizations that are fighting for this.

A long story, a breaking point, and a happy ending

Names have been changed. My husband, Matthew, is a mechanic. He was laid off three times in a row during 2020 (because of the pandemic).

How Common are Bad Bosses?

It's hard not to feel like i'm the problem in bad boss/bad work situations. I'm curious to know what other peoples' experiences have been. Thank you all.

Promoting to Customer

I've been working at a retail chain for almost a year while in college. During the interview I told them I was about to start school, and they said “we can absolutely work around that.” But that has not been the case. I had a whole conversation with my team lead when I was about to start fall term about when I could work. Went into the computer to update my availability. Then the first week I started school, I was scheduled during classes. I had to go to HR to get my schedule edited. It was the same way near the end of the term, when I was scheduled not just during classes but during FINALS. I went to HR again. For the next little bit had no issues except I had a hard time keeping up in school with 30 hrs/week so I talked to my team lead…
