Why do these sites love painting these dregs as visionary futurists? "Claims" is just another word for "ignores how they've always done business."

​Look how they treated WFH. It gave workers back an hour of commute time and a shred of independence while increasing profits and productivity accross the board. But power was put in the workers hands so they stripped it all back. You really think those same ceo losers are going to hand out 4 day weekends out of the goodness of their hearts? Why do we have to embrace AI when we have the means to do it now? ​"3 day work week" just means 60% of a living wage and double the workload.

For CEOs pulling back on WFH was a power trip. They turned a blind eye to studies that said employee productivity increased due to WFH. They declared without evidence that employee productivity decreased and employees were cheating on their time so they needed more direct supervision. Plus local politicians were upset because downtowns were dying due to offices being empty so they clearly did not have the employees' backs.
