No shit. If I was forced to "Return to office" I would just get a different job that let me be remote. Im willing to take less pay to be remote and so are a lot of other people. It saves a ton of money, I don't waste time on a commute and if I want to go for a walk or something on my break I just do. Or I can do the dishes, tidy up around the house, run errands I couldn't do if I had to commute an hour away.. etc...

From the post:

>Dell's recent return-to-office mandate has met significant resistance, with nearly 50% of US full-time employees opting to remain remote, despite potential career consequences, according to Business Insider. The policy, introduced in February, requires hybrid workers to attend office 39 days per quarter, while remote workers face promotion restrictions. Internationally, about a third of staff chose remote work.

Return to office requirements are pure real estate propaganda. Corporate real estate is plunging like a rock, unlike private real estate. Buildings are standing empty and more are opening up.

These corporate realtors “find themselves” on boards of major companies and, lo and behold, a wild “return to office” mandate rears its ugly head. An artificial “need” for corporate space is “justified.”

In truth, it makes no business sense to have most roles onsite. Hire good people who will work well in spite of being remote, or there’s enough nannyware out there if you’re paranoid about what everybody is doing. Otherwise you save on rent, energy, maintenance, phones and internet, among other things.

Well, don't forget that some of these companies count their real estate as part of their worth. The company's total worth actually is going down if the offices are not in use and its not as simple as them just renting it to someone else.. Because demand is down EVERYWHERE.

I believe they just did a massive layoff within the last year as well. I want to say my corp rep vanished.

I can see why they don't want to return - there's nothing my current rep needs at an office. He just needs access to corp systems to quote me prices.
