Now I'm not one for victim blaming, but if that's more than three places of employment, maybe you need to rethink the positions you apply for.

There’s something to that but it is victim blaming if you’re not acknowledging the larger trends. There are a lot of places whose MBAs are attending the same conferences, getting the same recommendations from consultants, and hearing the same demands from investors. The push against remote work, for example, was all driven by ideology against most of the available data but it affected a huge number of jobs.

You're saving on rent: great. But what is it doing to productivity?

Of course productivity doesn't show up on a spreadsheet, but rent does, so it's what about "the numbers" say.
