Lots of employers think they're entitled to in-office days when remote work suffices. Argument would be stronger if there were a whole country to do all work in.


There is available work in many places. But I do think many want to only do certain kinds of jobs, get paid a certain amount, and live wherever they want. That feels more like entitlement to me. For example many college educated adults look down on trade jobs and want a desk job in whatever field they studied in a coastal urban city. But that’s not reasonable.


Non sequitur. Read carefully, there isn't all work in all places. It's not about how much it pays. It's the demand to come to an office in "a coastal urban city" to work when the work can be completed elsewhere. It seems you not only want to deter people from living in desirable places, but also want to deter people from working in jobs they were trained for for no reason at all.
