That's the thing, you have to fight these things even when they're not happening because over time they will happen. Everyone was surprised when Google and Apple came back hard against remote working but that's just what big businesses do.

As software is increasingly commoditized over the next 5 decades we'll see a huge degradation in employee compensation even as profits for these companies continue to grow.

How does one fight against things that aren't happening? "Hell no, boss; I won't do that thing that you're not even asking me to do! No; I don't have any idea what I'm yelling about either!"

You're kidding right? Pre-planning for future events, like havesting food for the winter, is society 101.

You're conflating "fighting" with "preparing for".

Google is allowing remote work, after a long period of being non-committal. Not sure what you mean when you say they "came back hard against [it]".
