"I think the problem that we've had is that people decided they didn't really want to work so much anymore through COVID," Gurner said. "They have been paid a lot to do not too much in the last few years, and we need to see that change."

Gurner said the key to curbing what he views as "arrogance" in the labor market is higher unemployment.

"We need to see unemployment rise," he said. "Unemployment has to jump 40, 50% in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."

Mandating workers return to office, for example, has become a favorite way for some to regain power.

Keep in mind this is the same guy blaming record-high wealth inequality as a matter of people buying too much avocado toast.

When the ultrarich come out saying stuff like this, imagine what they think in private.

Let's see how we the people can formulate a rebuttal:

I think the problem that we've had is that CEOs decided they didn't really want to work unless they're paid exorbitant amounts of money. They have been paid a lot to do not too much in the last few decades, and we need to see that change. And, let's face it, "work" to a CEO has almost always been stepping out of the way and not sabotaging their own company.

CEO's don't care about customers...or employees. They only care about themselves.

Another mo--n feeling sattisfied feeding his own ego, himself.

I don't think it will ever happen, but hypothetically just visualize a scenario where with some miracle a consensus emerges - that nobody would work for a particular evil enterprise. And all employee community rally behind the existing employees of that enterprise, helping them to get job somewhere else. I know too far fetched, but think of it, if an example could be made of just one of the evil enterprise, it will be a watershed moment of the modern times!
