The case of remote work shows that the CEO class as a whole failed to pick up an innovation yielding massive benefits before it was forced on them by the pandemic, and have continued to resist and resent it ever since.

Hey, look! It's the whole of what's going on here. The bosses were forced into letting us have a thing, and, as a result, they will never accept us having it, and will do everything they can -- including destroying the business, if they're privately held -- to take it back.

They lost a minuscule slice of power over our lives, and they will never forgive us for that.
