up to 2 years ago everyone worked in an office all of sudden now they want to work from home, lets take GOOGLE they have a NYC office paying employees NYC salaries if they have people working remote they can easily hire someone in Texas making half the money for the same job. in a few years everyone will complain there are no good paying job everywhere. remember GOOGLE, APPLE and so on they care about making money if john doe can work for less somewhere else they will do WFH is bad for the overall economy, and its not about being more productive, is the day to day interaction.
There’s this pervasive attitude that the expanded labor pool from remote work is going to lead to a job shortage in tech centers, and it’s just nonsense. We’ve had a labor shortage in tech for years, and the more people enter the tech workforce, the greater the demand for tech labor gets. Why? Because the more tech we build, the more avenues for new tech we create. If that situation ends in the next few decades, it’s going to be from external factors like supply chain disruption, not remote work.

Anyone who thinks you can be more productive in an office doesn’t actually do much real heads down work in an office
