you would need to overcome an Occam's razored hypothesis like:

- management largely has asymmetry when it comes to remote knowledge worker output, especially high performers (contrast assembly line: easy to flag slackers)

- we don't have equity or input on direction (contrast worker cooperatives)

- and we're getting paid a lot of money to "hack" on problems (contrast e.g. whalers, dangerous as hell)

so yeah, i'm gonna let y'all rationalize all this, but i think it's just a great time to be a US computer laborer. won't last forever, but you can use your immense savings (you ARE saving, right?) for all that good stuff whenever you want or are forced out.
