MS workers could also attempt to unionize to secure remote work as a right. The attempts to do so would be protected by federal law. Annoying for these workers to be held hostage by elderly leadership teams (see Disney as well, Bob Igor is 71 and "put his foot down" requiring 4 days/week on site) and their emotional driven whims and value systems. For them, it’s not about productivity data, but about power (and the loss of it through increases in worker power, primarily due to labor shortages caused by demographic compression).
