hahahahaah, absolutely love this GC! I'm one of the hated work from home laptop class, never asked to work from home but since they forced me I'm sticking with it(was supposed to go back to the office 2 years ago but never did, one of the benefits of my boss being 1,000 miles away) solely because fuck them, that's why. Soulless corporations who care only about power and profit, while paying as little as possible to the employees who make it happen(last year my employer spouted platitudes about how they were going to factor inflation into our "merit" increases, ended up with a whopping 3% increase while the DIE department grew exponentially), fuck us all in the ass so why not do it to them, without lube. Creating AI personalities in order to collect multiple paychecks sounds like a fine plan to me, if I wasn't such a Luddite I'd probably do exactly what you suggest. Those who say "I take pride in working hard" don't understand that almost everyone feels that way, we all need a sense of purpose, but when your hard work is for corporations that are out to destroy us and our ways of life then maybe it's time to work hard on screwing them over while increasing the amount of coin you possess.

I fault nobody for working from home, with the exception of Blue State teachers ruining kids' lives. If a company is so large and absent and people can get away with working a few hours a day by simply logging into a machine, more power to them. They're getting paid to do other things with all that free time, and to potentially pivot to something they really love. And yes, screw the corporate machine with its DIE assholes, and overpaid racist commissars. Nobody owes any corporation anything. In fact, they'd be better off doing everything they can to use and abuse it in the same way it would them the second the board decides some people need to go and they start deciding that based on race and not merit. So, as you say, screw them. Every chance you get.

You are absolutely correct about using free time for finding ways to pivot to what you love. The only good thing that came from the plandemic, for me, is it helped me to discover my love of making art, anything from graphite pencils to oil painting, and a lot of the time I've spent learning is due solely to working from home. I've long thought that one of the things our wannabe overlords disregarded with the plandemic is it gave a huge amount of free time to those who never truly had it before and I'm willing to bet there are others like me who used that time to discover their hidden talents. Would be awesomely funny if their love of lockdowns is what causes their downfall in the end, due to someone sitting around at home suddenly discovering they have the leadership ability of King Leonidas.
