They go and get a job where everyone is in the office (and ideally everyone wants to be in the office).

My order of preference is:

• Everyone in-office because they want to be there

• Everyone in-office and some want to be there

• Everyone in-office and most don't want to be there

• Hybrid where everyone picks what works best for them

• 100% remote

Why is your 3rd order of preference something where most are unhappy? Are you saying your happiness is preferable over the unhappiness of most others or am I misunderstanding

Because I think in that situation the people who are unhappy either quit or get fired. Plus that was generally the default pre-COVID and people dealt with it more or less OK.

And yes, where I choose to work I do value my happiness more than the happiness of others.

Ah okay. That makes sense. That was my only wondering. We are in a post pandemic world now. So the pre Covid default isn’t the same any more. But yeah I agree overall
