It wasn’t software though. It was an immobilizer chip, which is hardware, that they didn’t put in the car. They cheaped out on a part, sure, but it wasn’t faulty nor was it software.

I feel like being remote for 4 years is no longer about the pandemic. It’s become a new standard and by showing financial harm by coming into the office I feel you might have a better case. Example being car insurance. My insurance went down as my car is now a “personal vehicle” vs a “commuter car”
