There's a lot of that when it comes to work in general. It's like it's taboo to point out that the only reason people show up to their jobs is because they get paid for it.
Right?
"Nobody wants to work anymore!"
Like no shit man.
News Flash: nobody has wanted to work ever. They work because the compensation lets them live the lives they want outside of work. If nobody wants to work for you, it's because you either aren't willing to compensate them enough to do that, or your job makes them so miserable that it's not worth it for them to trade away that much happiness for the compensation.
Or both. In lots of cases it's both.
I want to work, but the way I like to work.
If an employer only has a say in what I deliver, fuck yeah I want to work!
This
The only reason why any employer would be like "this is the way you work" would be in a team context, and even then, it should be a discussion, an adjustment, for practical reasons. never an arbitrary law
