Many people realized during covid that life has completely different meaning for them than being a cog in some corporation and sitting on their asses whole day, every day, in some soulless office far away, making money for somebody else.

You clearly have no close family, otherwise we wouldn't have this thread at all, simple as that. I've become parent of 2, 1 right before covid, 1 during. It took over my whole world and some (significantly some) more. I used to do tons of adrenaline/adventure sports in the mountains, now I do practically 0. I don't complain, life is about priorities.

Even if I didn't have kids, I wouldn't waste more time in the office than necessary (which is now 2 days/week). I would be enjoying life proper, which definitely doesn't happen in front of screen and on meetings. I've met people like you, but you are truly a tiny minority, most folks do IT for money and the fact they can't do any white collar profession outside it, and money are too good. Stop paying them, 0% will ever come again. Would you?
