I just don't understand why people seem to be so worked up about this. It must just hit really close to home on sites like this.

Look, I love remote working and I almost always find myself on the side of workers in any management v workers debate. But I find it very difficult to get worked up about the plight of folks who are likely making 60k+/yr. And much more if they are in a tech-focused role.

Reddit loses money. Does everyone just expect them to continue on with no changes forever? And where's the HN outrage when a factory closes down?

I just wanted to note that 60k/yr is not that much money. I think it more like 'slightly upper' middle class.

For example, the average income per person in Germany is at 41k Euro. For the US it is $51,939 per household, already adjusted for inflation.
