Just because you can perform a job from home, doesn't mean it's ideal for performance. With

You're refuting an assertion made by NO one.

No one said all jobs can be done remotely. When the site consolidated equipment or media somewhere, and there's no way to manipulate stuff remotely then - of course - it's not a remote capable job.

We're ignoring that buses are just big drones and surgery has been performed by servos or volunteers at the direction of a specialist far away. But you make a point, as has been made before, that a lever which cannot yet be pulled by a remote action needs an agile meatbag to do so.

The point that has been made - oh god, thousands of times - is that jobs that can be remote, should be. And that egotistical managers needing to feel better by staring at asses in chairs all day and knowing they were forced there through threat of food insecurity, that's not really a justification.

Amazon's demanded its devs come back into the office for no value, despite the personality type of those devs, an objective assessment of the workpace they're forced into - toxic - and the need to live within commute range to get there, limiting housing options for the workers and severely limiting the talent pool for companies. These are people who can, would, will and did the same work better and happier in an environment of their choosing - be it central office or personal office. Now they have no choice but to bend to the will of their boomer-esque managers who forgot it's not the 1900s anymore.

For remote-capable jobs, the only reason workers need to take risks and spend more money to physically commute is purely and simply egos of bad managers.

That's it. The dead weight they need to shed was in the office the whole time.
