Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.

Worked for my wife. She quit and found a job that was fully work from home that paid 3x what she was making. The company she left shut down and filed for bankruptcy last year. Last I heard, her old boss was working at Walmart as a cashier.

My sister did that but only netted 30k more not 3x. Still well worth it imo. Of course it's kinda amazing that more companies aren't taking this "cheat code" to get cream of the crop "minor league" non major center talent for the discount of amazing wages out in the hinterlands that are 40k or more less than big city prices.
