Yeah and it's a pretty obvious vector for corruption, it gets a little too obviously lucrative to have orwellian constant waves of fabricated crises

Yeah because you don't have an office anymore.

If I could have a job with a private office where I could close the door, have peace and quiet, and open the window as I wished, and I had a manager who simply gave me tasks to solve, like our parents had, I would also never quit and work there for 35 years. The working environment and conditions today are terrible in comparison, and people insisting to work from home is probably mostly a symptom of that.

At least in Berlin you can hire developers, good luck trying to hire talent in Stockholm. Possibly the worst cost of living (housing) vs salary ratio in the whole western world. Virtue signalling is only worth so much when your financial + housing options are so incredibly subpar.
