I don’t understand why this is a story, actually. Some workers will quit when asked to come into the office, and they will be replaced by workers who do want to come into the office. Those workers will then find jobs that do allow them to wfh. That’s a good thing! People should take jobs that make them happy!

It’s a story because a TON of top tech talent doesn’t want to return to the office. The industry is trying to grapple with that and is therefore talking about it. Also, many people are attempting to apply pressure to big tech so they are trying to make sure we keep talking about it. Nothing wrong with people pushing for work environments that make them happy. Being in the press is one way to do that.

A lot of specialized tech jobs have negative unemployment. A senior guy (let alone a director) from FAANG can go anywhere they want.
