Nobody wants to give up a something once it becomes a part of their life that they enjoy.

The FANG workers got a taste of not having a daily long commute and don't want to give this small life improvement back. Getting back several hours of your life is pretty big.

FANG companies however have gotten a taste of nearly unlimited power and have not heard "no" in years. They too don't want to give this up. This is why they demand the butts back in the cramped open seating office. Does anyone buy their "we will allow you to apply for remote work" BS? That is just something to get you back in the office. They will quietly deny your request later.

People can call these FANGers spoiled, but I really hope they win. It would benefit everybody, but the CEOs of the world.
