The twist is that that line of people turn down the $22/hr because they found out they can't work from home full time
- I'm having a laugh at the people in our company that are mad about having to come in an extra day per week. During COVID, they'd say, "Suck it up, it's your job," or, "be thankful you have a job," if we complained about all of the OT we were working. We were working 70-80 hours a week during the first few months of COVID.
  Now, we're throwing it back in their faces
  Honestly, I think the company is trying to push out some office workers, and making this new rule is enough to get some people to quit. This way the company doesn't have to give them any compensation when they're laid off
  
  I work in the office 3 days a week voluntarily. A lot of people in my company grunted about coming in 3 days per week starting in Q4 like it's the end of the world. As if their memory pre-covid was somehow erased on how the office life is. I understand the whole WFH thing but you have to give a little back to the company and find some balance. I'd rather be 3 days per week than 5.
  
  You don't have to do anything of the sort, especially when you've been fully remote for years.
  If the company was able to survive 3+ years fully remote, it can survive indefinitely.
  I understand that it might feel good to "throw it in the faces" of... Whoever the fuck you're trying to feel superior over, but this kind of divisiveness only serves to benefit the company and harm the workers.
