#6You can see which side the propaganda sides with by the choice of words. Remote is defined as "situated far from the main centres of population". Google also displays a new definition "working away from a usual workplace or location"
They are really hammering the narrative. You belong in the office! It is where you belong! Imagine we replace working with say fishing. What would fishing in a remote place be? At home? Or say eating remote? Is this eating at home?
Who is running what? Is the human running the company or the company running the human?

>rent or buy a house with your life savings so you can spend most of your day (and life) time cramped with other people in a noisy crowded opne office like a bunch of kindergarten kids.
Aka: being productive at corps.
