RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: Study::Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.

Our CEO announced a partial RTO yesterday and I can't imagine a situation where it would make less sense than here. I'm literally the only person in my city working in my team. And none of the others are in commuting distance to an office, one is even in another country. What the duck should I do at the office? What an idiot.

Yep, same here, I moved cities while being fully remote, anyone within 50 miles of an office has to go in and it seems there’s an office in my new city less than 50 miles away. My whole team is in a different city, which if I was still there I’d go in. I didn’t go in once since the start of the new policy 3 months ago, ended up getting called out on it by our director. Literally three days later I told my team I was leaving since my old company (which is fully remote) offered me a job when I reached out lol

I really hope that happens so often that companies start to understand how idiotic they behave. Let them bleed.

And good luck at your new old job!
