Face it, pretty much everybody else is fungible and they’ll pay you less and treat you worse if they get the chance. And they’re working on having that chance. You can organize or just accept that you can’t fully control your career without working for yourself. Not only is wfh ending, but those big salaries will also wind down. They’re based on leverage and they don’t want you to have it.
To help spur your imagination, may I recommend a reading of the “Gervais principle” series by Venkatesh Rao over on ribbonfarm.com? :)
