@SecureOwl and what's the point in collaborating in person when they've given us mountains of work collaborating with an AI Agent. These do nothing office people should be the first to be replaced by AI.

The real reasons:
1. "Back to the office" is a covert way to get women with children to resign.Affordable childcare is very hard to find because it's a high exposure job (covid, measles, etc) thanks to RFK's antivaxxers.
2. Men don't want to change the toner in the printer, plan staff events, tidy the bathrooms, wash their coffee cups, or make coffee for the team.
All that "invisible work" that women in the workplace are expected to do.
