How about employers who really want employees to succeed but employees who don't want to put in the effort?Like the studies show, people are as productive at home as at the office. Going to the office doesn't change effort. You're also implying that one can't improve while working from home, which isn't true.
Or, how about employees who believe what reddit tells them: they are being mistreated/abused because they can't have it their way?
I don't know what you're talking about specifically, but at a minimum, considering wages for workers are stagnant for decades while executive pay is (way) up, it's easy to see how workers are being exploited by default.
