Going into work is sooo freakin wasteful. Not only in time but also resources and honestly really cutting into peoples paychecks, your car, gas prices, waking up extra early for what most have a long commute. Traffic, pollution. Yell about how much pollution bitcoin makes. What about all the pollution we make going into work where nearly 80% of all jobs no longer really need it. I'd be for some type of middle ground. Half going in days which are required half not going in.
I remember reading a report not all that long ago about how clean our air has become because of rona and no one driving all over the place and into work each day. Sucks when someone is paying you to stay alive though you don't have all that many choices in terms of options. Quit sure but you might be in a bad spot financially. To be honest I feel like if you want to pass a law a corporation needs restrictions as to how much pay goes to the top and how much to the bottom. Wont ever happen though so much seriously screwed up with that entire system and no one wants to really do anything about it.
Someone has to keep that real estate value up.
Good luck with that one.

Obviously there are some jobs that cannot be done from anywhere. However, as you said, we did such a good job at creating so many worthless jobs that they are really not needed. This pie grows bigger as automation simply improves more. The jobs that computers can do better than people grows each day. Give it another few years and the difference will be really stark.
So this is one of those battlegrounds where either adjustment will take place or the status quo will win. If it is the later, productivity will take another hit, heading lower as it did for the past 30 years. The Boomers really have enjoyed one of the greatest technological booms in history yet did not take advantage of it. The Millennials will not do the same.
