The media manipulation is obvious at this point. The quiet quitting meme is perpetuated as part of anti-WFH sentiment as well.
It is clear that there's a power struggle playing out, where the Powers That Be desperately wish to pretend like Covid never happened, and the world never changed.
Capital looses so much from people working from home.
Easiest to notice is property values. They own or rent huge buildings that will loose value as the need for them decreases. That is capitalism 101.
The bigger loss for Capital is leverage and control. If the employee is no longer bound by the shackles of working at a location, they loose the ability to pay them less, to lord over their time, to dictate their needs and will onto their employees. Suddenly Capital is forced to compete non-locally in a way they never had to before.
