#3On the one hand, capitalists and business owners want people to have more children in order to keep the economy functioning. On the other hand, they want to make work as inconvenient as possible and want work to encompass the life of the employee.
It's becoming increasingly clear that there is a trade-off and an inverse relationship between career growth and family formation.

#4I think RTO mandates will be the straw that broke the camel's back, for a lot of Americans. Workers in sectors that previously wouldn't even think about unionizing, are now having serious discussions.
Going back to commutes, wasting time, for no obvious reason - yeah, that did wake up people.
EDIT: I'm talking about rigid 5 days a week RTO policy. As other have pointed out, having a flexible WFH policy is often "good enough" for most people. Not all want 100% WFH, but taking away the flexibility of WFH a couple of days a week, if you want, feels like a shitty deal.

#7I generally like working in the office. I get more completed, I enjoy my coworkers, communication is easier, and I'm visible to management.
If it came down to RTO, or a 4 day work week, It would be an unbelievably simple choice: 4 day week.

#10My unioned wife lives a life I can only dream of. The respect, the dignity of her job makes me feel like I made the wrong choice by getting into tech.
Unionization is the answer. For a long time, tech workers were gaslighted into thinking that unions will not let them get paid high salaries.
Guess what, without unions, tech workers don't even have job stability. Forget high salaries.
Vote for unions.
