Everyone's got an angle. It's why pandering to self-interest has been so successful.

When the physical environment isn’t enough to compel us to buy things, the state and capital class often just order us to behave in ways that compel us to spend money.

Roads are public spaces, theoretically owned by everyone. When the state encloses them by criminalizing certain public uses—such as the American crime of “jaywalking”—the state subsidizes the car firms that sell us the cars that are legal requirements to use public spaces.

Our bosses do this too when they command us to work in offices—not because office work is efficient, but because ordering us from our homes into their built environment increases our spending on amenities that are difficult or impossible to access there.

I love how this page with "4+ Notice of Return to Work Examples in PDF" in the sidebar lists other useful topics, starting with "18+ Resignation Letters Examples"

A friend recently read to me their employer's particularly callous back-to-office demand memo, and resigned from an executive role there today.

By the way, it should be "Return to Office" not "Return to Work". Just what do you think we've been doing these last few years?

"In hopes of rallying the troops, Clarke took the time to pay special attention to one employee who had sold the family dog as a result of his decision, describing it as an example of the “sacrifices that are being made”"

Remote work is a state of mind.

Even if I’m in the office you hardly ever know where I am or what I’m working on, if anything. I can attend to personal business all day at work.

I can be in the cube next to you and be incredibly distant. I can sit in the conference room with ten of you and still be a million miles away. You are worried that remote work will destroy company culture and collaboration? I can do that while sitting right here.

No company that claims to care for the environment should be forcing employees back into the office.
