Larry normally goes into the factory to melt tires and mold new ones. The company can buy him a rubber melter and a mold press and install it at his house. Of course this makes no sense for a billion reasons.
No, instead we'll just keep insisting/pretending that the work needed to be done in the world can be done from a laptop computer and that 99% of the workforce deserves 200k+ salaries, but not Larry.
And as for the fate of Larry and many others like him - well fuck him, he has to go to work, I want my damn at home desk job.
Whether people realize this or not, a lot more people are going to lose their tech jobs. And just because our work isn't as productive at home than in an office where coordination is 100x easier, we'll just keep insisting that there's no other way to do this. Besides, everyone moved to SmallTown, USA so we can't go back.
It's all so much more Narcissistic than that CEO would ever be.
I'm not saying there is an easy solution, but to simply lay blame on narcissistic CEOs is laughable.
