I'm not going to let go of this whole return-to-office (RTO) mandate thing that comes down from higher-ups. "A November study of over 3 million "high-tech and financial" workers at 54 companies on the S&P 500 index (PDF) concluded that RTO mandates could lead to employees doubting leadership's ability to lead and make decisions. Amazon workers were already questioning the "non-data-driven explanation" provided to them for the RTO policy." Count me as being among those with similar doubts. The main reason - so far as I can tell - for enfocing RTO mandates is to make sure we keep spending money we wouldn't otherwise have to spend. Which is no good reason at all. Via Apostolos K.
