I worry at the long term implications of remote work:

- I hear of Bay Area tech companies throwing stupid high salaries at senior devs in smaller local firms -> more consolidation in tech

- how non people centric will work become? I feel being 100% remote I have even less of a relationship with anyone at home. I’m a commodity doing work. Maybe there’s more of a temptation to get that commodity cheaper elsewhere

Do not think for a second that you are not already disposable

We are all commodities... best to shatter that illusion safely before you get hurt.
