people will have all the flexibility of their time that they want, because they will be unemployed
Yup, that's where I am now... once again looking for a job. I would LOVE a hybrid role! I miss the office interactions and social events with my coworkers. I would be happy to sacrifice some of the comforts that go along with WFH if it meant getting back to a consistent paycheck, getting yearly promotions, and some benefits. I would miss the flexibility to enjoy travel while WFH, but ultimately I would much rather the comfort and stability of some meaningful and lasting employment. I'm growing weary of all the gig work and independent contracting.
