       | Good. I've noticed more job opportunities that stress a
       | remote(/hybrid) nature the past couple of months, and I greatly
       | appreciate it. As long as there are options for those who need
       | them (being in the office because the home situation is too
       | distracting vs needing to WFH because someone's coming to fix a
       | pipe), I think it works.

       | Employees have shown they get the work done (and are working more
       | hours with the lack of a commute + water cooler time which is its
       | own issue). There are reasons that being on-site job necessary of
       | course, but if the only one is the employer is paranoid and wants
       | to hover over their employees, that says more about them.

       | Granted, all the landlords who have or are building massive
       | office blocks might be in trouble, but frankly they can deal with
       | it.

       | they want that to be got a reason? Is it that CxO's believe we'll
       | all produce better work off in the office? Something else?
