<p>Employees accept work-from-home & look for a work-from-home job. 
New applicants see on-site only and apply elsewhere.<p>Choices:<p>1. Hire desperate people who will come in
2. Accept that high-talent staff are unavailable to your company
3. Pay 30% more than the market for on-site staff</p>

<p>This is prepping the ground for a major bailout of commercial real estate because of its moribund effect on the economy.<p>Mostly just starting the chant for bailing out the really, really wealthy and those who benefit from CRE. (City governments, insurance companies, mega corps, and commercial banks).<p>This is not a public outcry, but watch how they do it by creating a story then an echo chamber, making it part of the "recovery", blah, blah. CRE will get a fat earmark in some recession funding, just watch.</p>

<p>RTO has simply become a structural disadvantage. Companies that cannot manage remote teams simply won't be able to attract top talent.<p>Even if 80% of companies RTO the remaining 20% that recruit remote-only jobs will create massive disruption in top performers. HR has their head in the sand because so many companies are either freezing hiring or reducing headcount, but there's a real issue here. Talented people just don't need to consider onsite work, period.<p>The only way you work onsite is you are inexperienced or you don't have another job. Maybe you want a big name on your resume. Either way those are jobs that will need to be filled again.<p>In this article, they state openly that Blizzard is managing a crisis to ship multiple products. The cost of a failed product release outstrips their lease cost by orders of magnitude. I don't get the play here. What's the outlook on the next release cycle without talent?</p>

<p>You should consult with an employment attorney.<p>1. If you get fired/laid off and your employer does not know, you might waive any federal protections you deserve by keeping your condition a secret.<p>2. There might be laws to protect you with your condition as it deteriorates.<p>3. HR resources might be available to you through the company or its health plans.<p>It's worth consulting with an expert on the legal status first, then moving from there.</p>

<p>We don't see the prompt used to generate these "copies". It could be they provided the image in question to work from. In which case it would be very similar, but not identical.<p>It's important to note, this is not a faithful representation once you look at it closely. The text is always mangled into nonsense and things like brands or logos are never close enough to be even a passing likeness.<p>This is no different from a painter using a photograph of a subject to create a portrait, which is subsequently sold.<p>Or recording a song on the radio to learn to play the guitar, then using that song as inspiration to write a new song.<p>That being said, I suspect they are removing all watermarked images from training databases right now.</p>
