Return-to-office orders look like a way for rich, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees::White-collar workers temporarily enjoyed unprecedented power during the pandemic to decide where and how they worked.

But work is work. If you’re doing it for the benefit of a business only because they’re paying you to do it then that is the literal definition of work. Just because it’s not hard work doesn’t mean it’s not work?
Besides, that number isn’t self-reported numbers, it’s from a study I read recently, and it was included as a tangentially related point. I could try and track it down if you like.
It’s also important to note that not every CEO is a billionaire of a megacorp. There are millions of small business owners who are also CEOs.
You shouldn’t be getting downvoted for your numbers. I would believe, especially in smaller businesses that the CEOs actually work. Hell, the CEO at my company is a great guy. I meet with him every week and he is there all day with us. There is another layer though, which is the managing partners. They fill the traditional role of the boogeyman CEO people imagine. So we aren’t necessarily mad at the position. We’re mad at the inequality in pay with no tangible or even existent contribution. Especially when these people are taking such a large portion of what could honestly be spread around to make everyone comfortable, at least in my specific situation.
This logic is going to be lost on these anti-work nerds. All business is bad. All workers are gods and all CEOs are lazy scum making billions off the toil of their hoard of exploited office drones. This place…
Oh boy, this will look funny next to my reply.
how does that corporate business casual loafer taste?
I don’t think being inflammatory is helping the situation. I’ve been surprised before, and just because I’m net negative doesn’t mean lurkers haven’t read it and listened.
Every day, I see more and more people on Lemmy complaining about Lemmy.
This place is getting more like reddit all the time!
Fully agree with you, the black and white thinking and the hyperboles used are putting me of Lemmy.
Unfortunately it’s not a “Lemmy issue” it’s an “Internet issue.” You’re more likely to get engagement from those that disagree rather than from those who already agree.
I don’t like it either, but to be honest reddit was about the same.
