there really needs to be some legislative support for WFH, or to at least prevent companies from retracting it so wantonly. it's good for the environment, it's incredible for quality of life (for those who chose it)... brenden pls

it's really insane how many people have this stockholm syndrome for the office, for putting on a shirt and fulfilling the social ideal of being an Adult with a Place To Be from 9-5. it's arbitrary, it's unnecessary, it's archaic

Agreed with the Stockholm syndrome part, but can't exactly agree with the legislative part. What legislation would you propose to support WFH? I say this very rarely, but I think the free market has this one. Idiotic businesses would be bogged down by expensive real estate costs, while the smarter ones would completely bypass these. Also, there would be more demand for WFH jobs, which would mean either cheaper or much higher quality labor for the WFH jobs.
