"Why won't people keep working like dogs? It must be because they're lazy."

Better optics than layoffs, and no severance is due. Seems like a great win for corporate.

Title is a question? That means the answer is No.

I believe specifically it’s whether it ends with a question mark. Does this title count?

I don't think the law is very strict. Sometimes the answer is yes.

Office work is unfulfilling and mentally exhausting. If they paid me even close to what I make in a corporation at a tire shop Id rather work at a tire shop.

I think there’s was a bit more affordability and therefore flexibility right after Covid. For a brief moment there. We had some savings and still lower borrowing payments. Now I’m not sure we can afford to revolt. Or I can’t anyway.
