This one is a bit frivolous, but generally all of these things share a common tone, "We're performatively punishing labor to send a message. We know Amazon/Starbucks unionized and the auto workers/writers/actors/health care workers went on strike, but you need to shut up and do more work until I no longer feel threatened like you might do the same"
Again, this is a more frivolous example, but tech workers need to unionize. The only downside I can identify about remote work is that the company owns the "town square" or "lunch room" - don't really have opportunities for the kind of quiet conversations where these things typically build momentum when they are indexing and have keyword alerts on your "private messages" with colleagues.
