Guess we should all be unemployed not to be oppressed.

What immense power? You can hand in your resignation and all that power, money and piles of gold suddenly mean nothing when you don't have the basic component that makes the gears turn. Workers are also not oppressed, because workers can quit if it's not fitting for them. Staying there by free will to take the shit in is not oppression... We already have very mobile workforce that basically does job jumping every 2 years, and people are having less and less issue with simply quitting. So what is exactly the problem for the worker, expect that they want to work in a company, but on THEIR terms, and not the company terms?

Not defending Amazon in any way, but I think the playing field is quite level right now between the employer and employees. Both are free to make decisions, both are free to work together or part ways. So I am not seeing an issue other than the worker wanting to control how the company is run.

KeePass. It has everything I need and is fully under my own control.

There are no search engines besides Google and Bing, because everyone else just uses Bing under the hood.

Everyone I know has at least 10 USB-C cables lying around, what's the point of shipping more e-waste?

Idk, usually people shut down their business if it can't make a profit...

Not everyone has coworkers like that.

Nobody bosses me around, I just work until I'm done, and I don't need to manage my time, because I have all the time in the world working from home. Also, it feels like being in home prison, never seeing anyone you work with. Have the feeling some people exist only on computer screens.

I understand the benefits of working from home, but meeting other people in the office is what made it human to begin with. I miss chatting with people while getting coffee about non-work related stuff. I knew what was going on without needing a meeting or briefing. I could just work in the office on things I needed to work - which made it so I could go home earlier. Now I am just at home all the time, wasting my time in meetings. Idk, I wish it would work for me, but it just doesn't. I need the social aspect of the office.

In comparison to the non-existing work-life balance in most remote positions where you are basically available 0-24? No thanks. I'd rather travel, the 20min in the morning is perfect to "wake up fully" and in the afternoon to decompress while getting home.

Their job is to maximize shareholder profit. That is their only and one true job as CEOs. If you want a CEO that is not evil, look for companies that are not public even though they could be.
