    There’s always a push, we just need to push back harder.

      It seems like they pushed and there was nothing there to push because everyone had left. This is a case where the worker had options and it’s nice to see them use that to their advantage and encourage changes.

      Whilei agree with you wholeheartedly, I don’t know how without risking job security. I’ve been interviewing for any position that matches my qualifications and is listed as remote even if the pay is reduced, but what message does one person send? Without a concerted effort, the message is weak if it is even heard. At least in my job sector, the C-suite is fully sold that AI will allow a reduction in the workforce and therefore costs and they’re hedging their bet now by reducing the workforce to pay for AI. Unionize? I can’t even sell the idea within my whole family, how could I sell it to a majority of my work peers? I’m not that charismatic. I’ll be the second one to sign up if I do find talk of it at my employer.
