My employer just laid off a huge amount of the IT department where I work a year or two ago. I survived it, but today they announced they're going to require everyone to come back into the office. And coincidentally they're opening a new office in India. (Their first office outside of north/central America. And they do no business/sales in India and have no plan to start. Pay no attention to the fact that the going rate for labor in India is a fraction of a fraction of what we're paid in the U.S.)

It's painfully obvious that they're just trying to incentivize people to leave on terms that aren't considered "termination" for purposes of... say... unemployment benefits payment and such.

So, now I'm in the market for a job. It'll basically have to be full-time remote for reasons. And I super don't relish the idea of becoming a vibe coder. Nor job hunting in the current market.

Stressful bullshit.

That's a great thought, but poor targeting. This would drive away your fellow employees more than it would piss off the boss. It's doing the boss's job for them, making them quit instead of be fired.

Instead, be nice to everyone except the boss. Be careful never to be recorded. Look at them with utter hatred when no witnesses or cameras are around, and smiles at all other times. Send them fruit baskets where all the fruit has little injection marks in the skin, but nothing injected. Leave a Chucky doll outside their office door on the 13th of every month.
