#2The future of work will be whatever is easier for the CEO. So easy for CEO, hard for everybody else is what we will get.

#3Converting staff to contractor status sounds like a layoff, making said staff eligible for generous covid unemployment relief and fully subsidized cobra health insurance payments until September.

#4Kudos for the employees to be able to organize and shut down operations for the day. I hope that it’s not only symbolic. What would it take for the CEO to get replaced?

#5Seems like there are a lot of ways that employers are effectively blaming their employees for COVID. Some of the anecdotes in this article really resonated with me. It does feel "super shitty" when you feel as though you've been barely holding it together during what has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult years of the previous century and yet your employer seems to feel entitled to hold you to the usual standards. The tech industry (well, the "business" industry really) lately seems just so utterly inhuman that I've seriously considered getting out of it for good and becoming something like a technological hermit. But I can't be a "business" hermit so I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Afterword: I feel like this post is a good litmus test for identifying which respondents are in the C suite lol.

#6Wow, using an op-ed in the Washington Post to threaten her employees' careers? Where is this one in the How To Be A Great Leader manual? Wouldn't a private internal memo be at least marginally better than picking a fight publicly?
Why are executives, regardless of industry, digging in and going to such great lengths to insist that physical presence in a purpose-built office building is the only possible way to work?

"during what has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult years of the previous century"
That seems a bit hyperbolic.
