Employers are less motivated to pay workers a living wage.
Most people took a paycut even if they got a “raise” so it’s not really a surprise.
Plus the planet is burning.
Heat saps energy. Despair does too.
There’s less incentive to work.
Maybe people are pissed off about being forced to either RTO or be reprimanded/fired. So they either quit or in the meantime put less effort in.
it all feels pointless. after 2020 we know they can just pull the rug on everything…my generation and future ones know that there probably isn’t a future because we’re still polluting even though if we stopped now we’d all be suffering anyway so…full steam ahead i guess
RTO mandates are such a vile vile figment of the mid 2020s. massive quality of life downgrades are being mandated because some rich fucks bet too many fucking parlays on fucking office buildings
