> "Nothing will change other than having a couple snacks in our office and having an in-person meeting," Pruiett said. "We're kind of starting to think that this job isn't worth it."

This is critical advent that we cannot make concessions on, even Hybrid is not useful for most roles; what should be agreed upon (if necessary) are re-negotiated pay for those who do not go back into the office. I think most have seen their productivity increase during WFH that talent retention will be a bigger threat when remote first businesses are still growing.

Moreover, it should be noted how hypocritical most of the largest advocates of supposed environmentalist based corps are on this, including Elon's stance, because it goes to show that its a merely lip-service when it disrupts with business as usual--and likely lots of external investments like real estate. The sheer amount of needless energy consumption is jaw dropping when you see what it takes to maintain such a system, and this is at a time with rising gas prices.

This is something that should come down to whether in office roles are mission-critical and if they are they should reflect a better pay rate/TC for those than cannot be done remotely: that is how efficient Markets are supposed to work and in regards to this supposed 'labour shortage,' threatening people with layoffs/firing is not the move that sends any confidence: hence why Tesla took a hit after that email was leaked to the press.
