Plenty of people are making that bet. Work from home is important to a lot of people and its not something you can take away without employees seeing it as a pay cut.
So if my pay is being cut, and you are taking an extra 2 hours of my day in commute again, then I guess that becomes my reward for hard work?
To be fair the dynamics do change from business to business. My current one is a good example of making poor decisions with workforce and not expecting the blowback.
I'm saying unemployment isn't actually a risk. You just keep saying it is. Plenty of people ride dying companies into the dirt and move on, its not a crazy scenario to imagine.
Now you're on about low pay, what are you even talking about? Changing companies is the best thing for increasing salary and you're here acting like a child terrified of losing your job... have you ever even worked at a company on salary? You sound like you're talking about something you are clueless about. Stop being so afraid, go change jobs.
