After working from home for two years, we are being "encouraged" to return to the office. Most of us see no point in returning to the office and suffering through long commutes again. I expect it to get ugly.

What about you?

The insanity of being forced to commute, at a basic level, and producing 8 figures of profits for higher ups that then take credit while I was paid less than the going rate for my services (which was itself low), is precisely why I became self employed 15 years ago.

It's kinda nice that people are waking up to how much we are being exploited but I kinda feel like it's 2 generations too late. Maybe 3 if you count those who aren't of working age yet and were born into this dystopia.

This isn't just a failed system, and failed economy, it's been failed for 30 or so years.
