story seems a bit fantasy to me. not sure if it's really plausible.

they all resigned together but the company couldn't find anyone to replace them on linkedin. doesn't correlate with my experiences.

in any case would be interesting to know if something like this did happen. i think maybe only in smallish companies where employees have some leverage.

in my experience it seems they started treating remote as a more of a one-off privilge, or as a reward. it's no longer seen as a permanent benefit.
