It astounds me that people can be this fed up and somehow not become radical socialists, at least fucking unionize god damn
like there's a whole book written specifically about why this would happen and how workers can fight back

It's extremely easy to mislead people who their enemy is when there is one group that has multiplicative magnitudes of wealth over the other
Radical socialist aka lazy bones capitalists
To be honest, the older I get the more I realize the value to being lazy.
And for the record, the vast majority of people are fucking lazy. All life forms are, they don't really don't want to do work. We weren't put on this earth to work to live.
Animals spend a lot of time doing nothing. Not sleeping, just sitting around:
Contrary to the perceptions of nature as a well-oiled machine, we see inactivity in all corners of the animal kingdom. In fact, it seems that many creatures spend the majority of their time inactive, which is defined as time that an individual is awake but not engaging in any specific task or activity. Observations of animals have shown that some creatures spend between 75% (lions) to 85% (hummingbirds) of their time being at rest. That’s a lot of time doing nothing!
There's also estimates that hunter-gatherers only work 15-20 hours per week.
WFH solves at least three of those problems, but only if our corporate lords allow it.
In my experience WFH wasn't worth it. The jobs pay way less with shitty benefits and the pressure was intense. Hybrid jobs are much more chill and pay more so I can afford things like a weekly cleaning lady to take some pressure off home life.
It shouldn't be like this but here we are, and we have to make the best of it.
None of that is inherent to WFH, that's just your employers being assholes.
And quite likely intentional to make workers think WFH is inherently bad
