There are enough people out of work right now (with bills to pay like mortgages, childcare, tuition, etc) that most potential candidates will be more than happy to work in the office for a paycheck.
But that doesn't have to happen. If we have a union, and pay union dues, then people can get paid from the union fund during a strike. There'd be representatives advocating for us and the rights we want. We can affect policy to add pressure to prevent future layoffs and make remote work a right. Rather than what we do now, which is anything they want.
We don't actually have to just sit back and allow ourselves to be constantly laid off, or threatened with being fired if we don't move to a specific city and commute every day. There are things we can do. But we have to get off our asses.
I just started seeing this on resumes. We got a letter from a person applying at our office last week who said she is available to work full time in the office. A couple of years ago, a lot of the people were applying for wanting to work from home.
Enough of this sort of thing and creative people who plan ahead will label working for you as something that's extremely disruptive and you'll only be able to higher people one step above an LLM.
