The rich don't care about your physical and mental health. The reason they are pushing a coordinated media campaign against remote work is because the only thing they really care about is all the money they are losing from empty offices.

@luckytran I honestly don't think they really even care about making money. Embracing remote work means they have a broader pool of talent to draw from. It also means they don't have to spend as much money on offices.

But guess what? The people who most want to do remote work are women, people of color, and trans people. And most of the decision-makers are rich white cis men. So we end up with drivel about "spontaneous hallway conversations" that we've been hearing for a long time.

@finley @luckytran I say it's more about time control. Remote work liberates, they lose power to control the populous which could engage in politics and other endeavors more freely with remote work. The time spent to commute alone would free up so much time to do stuff.

@finley @luckytran It's also the reaction of a flock of middle-managers discovering to their horror that they are pretty useless, and just get in the way of the real work being done.
