Only success I've seen being part of a RTO mandate is that everyone's pissed at management and looking to get out. Which is to say it was a success in not paying severance.
Yup; success is relative.
It's somehow wonderful how masks-off many modern executives are. They're just outright going "rules are only for you fucking plebs. Now go sit in your cubicles and earn me some money", no more dancing around with the "we're all a big family" bullshit
You guys have cubicles? I thought we’ve done away with that and mandated all offices to be deprived of walls and dividers since the 2010s in favor of open office floor plans? Someone get the office manager on the line.
"Now go find a free work space from the booking system" doesn't quite have the same ring to it
You guys have floors? Our desks are on a net suspended over a gaping chasm
Ffs the open office bullshit.
I just reserve meeting rooms for myself every day.
They do the dance too though. Really weird.
The other "success" in that is that the people who are left, who succumbed to RTO, by definition are going to toe the company line more, and/or have less power to exercise in changing employers, meaning they can be more easily abused.
At the same time, those who stayed were probably not as skilled and thus weren't able to find other employment. So the company's overall quality is going to diminish.
That's a problem for future CEO John Q. Moneybags. Present CEO John Q. Moneybags just improved this quarter's financials, and is already planning his golden-parachute retirement before becoming future Mr. Moneybags.
