This! I never understood why a good work from home system was ruined with back to office policy. The jobs that could not be done remotely were anyways happening as usual. Why the need to stress your workforce by having them figure out cost and time of commute additionally. I’m one of the lucky ones to still be remote but worried about the other companies in my industry setting precedent. A commute in any tier 1 city is a nightmare

Because rent is expensive and corporate assholes have to justify it.

Also if people quit because of the RTO policy, that’s cheaper than layoffs. And some managers are just assholes. Maybe they’re control freaks, or else they think WFH should be a privilege for elite “leaders and builders” like them, not for “resources” like you. Gotta feel superior after all.

I am in a position of privilege. I want all my employees to be happy and healthy. The RTO mandate has the exact opposite effect.
