> I don't get it. Things are simple. The employer sets the terms, where you work and how the work is paid. The employee either accepts the terms or walks away.
The employer makes an offer. Every job should be one where all parties see it as a fair exchange of value.
For a majority in software engineering, offers are not that hard to come by. There is an onus on both employer and employee to ensure the exchange of value continues to remain fair.
Things are not simple though, because people are messy. We’re all different. We need slightly different things. We have different challenges we’re working with.
Remote work has been a dream for some, and a reality for a small group. The pandemic forced a trial under less than ideal circumstances and productivity generally didn’t suffer (sometimes it went up).
The desire to work in an office or remote is something I keep finding differs person to person. If you mandate either all remote or all in an office you’re going to annoy someone.
We’re human. We need different things.
If your employer is refusing, in this industry you have options.
