This, right here. The “return to office” mandates by employers are failing, just like I said they would. And the only reason the mandates existed in the first place was because the jews hoped to prevent a commercial real estate crash.
The “return to office” mandates by employers are failing
Just last week I turned down a job offer because it involved going into the office every day. A recruiter for a company where I worked in the past reached out. I took the call and was interested in the opportunity until she mentioned is was "fully in-office."
I said, "Thanks, but I'll pass."
She hedged a bit, admitting they really just wanted people 2 or 3 days a week, but I explained that they couldn't offer me enough money to give up on my quality of life.
Moreover, the '2 or 3 days' thing is just the toe in the door until they mandate their plan to have everyone in every day. They're paying for that office space and want to see asses in seats, regardless of whether an employee is more productive or less.
We left it at the point where she could call me back if they agreed to a stipulation in my employment agreement that I'd be a permanent remote employee if I worked there.
I hope every employer playing the return to office game is getting direct feedback from people turning them down over it. They’ll eventually learn that their remote working competitors are getting better people for less, and saving on office space, but it will happen faster if they are told directly.
I bet they spend a lot of time convincing themselves that forcing people into their office is somehow better (“They’ll learn to love the office!”). Having job candidates tell them to their face that they will not take an in‐office job shatters those delusions.
My current company sent out a survey asking how we employees felt about returning to the office. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of keeping things the way they are now. The company's response?
Cool. Thanks. Stay home and keep up the good work.
Yeah. I wouldn’t mind a stipulation where they pay me a sizable bonus for each day they bring me into the office, but there is zero reason for having onsite employees for most roles, especially since most companies outsource to Streetshittia curry niggerswho aren’t even in the same continent, let alone the same office.

Currently, all of my clients are in other cities, let alone other states. Going into the office would mean being on video conferences from a cubicle instead of my home office.
That job she was talking about would have been pretty much the same thing, except for one or two teammates being in the same office. No point in doing so from my view.
Even the extra money wasn't enough to offset that. When I told her they couldn't offer me enough money to accept the role, I wasn't joking. They'd have to double what I'm making now, and there's no way they'd do that. I'm good at what I do, but I'm not that good.
