How will the company stay in business without workers?

They'll have no choice...

They have plenty of choices, including:

- visa workers who have no bargaining power.

- younger people who are mobile

- moving offices to other places

There have been a few recent posts about struggling to find jobs... every time it turns out they are only applying to online listings for remote jobs, and have high standards. That's not a situation you're likely to stand out in.

I just don't see how global remote work as the norm is "pro worker" for anyone except those already well established in their career. Besides being more disposable, what happened to complaints about companies not providing job resources or training? Did we give up on that one?

The younger generation is much less willing to work under conditions they disagree with.
As if individuals don't have plenty of choices?
An understaffed company will last infinitely longer than an individual without a job.
That's a wild generalization
There's always someone who's willing to work regardless of WFH policy. What would probably happen is that companies are lowering their standards of hiring.
