I am currently looking for work in the tech sector and have noticed quite a shift in the remote work job postings over the last 3-4 months. The one sector where people could work 100 percent remotely is the one insisting they come back to the office, particularly in the Bay Area and Seattle.
Some people in any discipline apparently need to be in the office. Recently, a bunch of Wells Fargo remote workers were fired when the company discovered that their work consisted of software that simulated key strokes and mouse movement so the workers themselves could do what they pleased. Some people simply cannot be trusted with remote work.
I work in banking. The vast majority of jobs in this sector could be 100% remote as well. I’ve managed to stay 100% remote but it has definitely gotten more difficult in the last year and a half.
So many individuals occupying C-suites shown (with DIE/ESG) that they willing to poison their own companies to advance the communist agenda.
The trend you’re seeing sounds similar.
