It's amazing to me how quickly the narrative on the future of remote work and work generally shifted in the past few years. A year and a few months ago Al Jazeera was running stories on us entering a "golden age of the worker": <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/1/6/are-we-about-to-enter-the-golden-age-of-the-worker" rel="nofollow">https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/1/6/are-we-about-to-...</a><p>Now, with layoffs, AI, and higher interest rates, you're getting stories like this wondering if all the lost jobs are ever coming back. I'd like to see at least 1 more business cycle end to end - recession and recovery - before jumping to conclusions. As someone who's never been in the job market during a significant downturn like this, though, it is a bit mind-boggling to see how quickly people think this is a permanent state of affairs given how hot the job market was just a year and a half ago.
