What does your contract say? With this back to work bullshit I made sure my contract explicitly said I was remote.

Doesn't mean they won't change their mind but maybe I'll get severance instead of fired for cause of they have a back to the office push.

Huh? All jobs come with an employment contract.

You must not be in america. We're lucky if we get breaks.

So if the employer suddenly decides to e.g. start paying you less, how do you prove how much your pay should be?

Previous pay stubs I suppose. Depending on the employer you may have something in writing. This typically wouldn't be contract if you're an employee without a union.

Land of the free and all that. Free from paid healthcare, a decent public education, a strong voice in government, an impartial justice system, employee rights... With all this freedom, it's hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

My dude, we're talking about remote work office jobs. Not some random under the table shit.
