Hell, forget doing anything with the office. I don't want to go back unless you have an on site private spa, massuese, catered food, and laundry service. Make it legitimately better than being at home and I'll consider it.

Instead, the blue shirted girlfriend should be: "A valuable intangible workplace benefit that you can continue offering for free after you were forced to invest in it due to the pandemic"

People applying for my position will make job acceptance or denial choices off of whether or not they get to work from home. We're already split across three "back office" physical locations when we are in the office and we're more than capable of having a conference call going in the background throughout the day for chitchat and bouncing ideas around verbally if we really need to. We didn't just survive during total work from home, we thrived. And we already have all the technical infrastructure, policies, and procedures in place to offer full work from home.

It's like if they could offer health insurance to employees for free, but decided not to because upper management can't figure out how to do their jobs when people have it.

Fuck this boils my piss.

To be fair, rto is mostly an assertion of control and an a chance to lay people off without legally laying them off. Your jail and execution chamber don’t have to do anything besides adhere to regulations.

The more you demand of an office to avoid RTO, the lower their salary offer will be when they decide you can either take a significant percentage pay cut or a 100% pay cut.

This is exactly what my wife is experiencing in her state gov position. It's a hybrid state/corp department and the CEO says they need to RTO even though he admits they are more productive at home. He literally said it's because they are still paying for the building and feel it's being underutilized. They have been remote for 5 years and some of the employees moved across the state and most have said they are quitting.

moved across the state and most have said they are quitting.

Let me fix this for you: "genius CEO stealthily does layoffs by convincing people to quit on their own. Hires cheaper replacements"

Don't quit. Make them fire you. Work a second job while you wait. Fuck em.

This CEO should be immediately canned for incompetence. Anyone who can't understand the sunk cost fallacy has no business running any organization.

This meme illustrates by example one of the key failures of capitalism:

Upper management doesn't see itself as responsible for overseeing staff to maximize their productivity via data-driven methods (e.g. let them have human lives while they work)

Upper management sees staff as their courtiers and garden hermits there to emphasize how important the execs are.

Hence RTO mandates rather than letting them telecommute or giving them sweet workspace at the office.

Upper management sees staff as their courtiers...

My compliments to your vocabulary and effective word choice.

With ADHD and social anxiety, I'm more productive when the office is less social. I definitely got much more productive when I started working from home.

We need to start taxing companies more that put undue burden on the infrastructure and environment. Do you require your employees to come in to an office for work that could be done from home? You should have to pay a double employer payroll tax for every employee you do this to. We need to start taxing the vanity of CEOs.
