So no, companies haven’t responded to employees favouring WFH with outsourcing - they’ve responded by mandating they return to the office. They can do it now because we’re in a very loose labour market, and employees have no option but to suck it up and go back to commutes and cube farms. And if some employees don’t like it and choose to quit rather than RTO, that’s a feature not a bug, because it allows companies gearing up for a recession to shed payroll without paying severance (aka “quiet firing”).

I've had 4 of these happen to clients in the last month. Its crazy!
"If you make me work from the office then I quit!"
Okay.
They remind me of anti-vaxxers who lost their jobs by refusing to get vaccinated.
