I still think the RTO was the cities telling the businesses to get people back downtown to collect more taxes on food and parking or lose their tax abatements for their overpriced skyscrapers.
I think that is at least 90% of why. It has been proven in multiple studies that productivity did not suffer and in some cases actually went up. Employee happiness and loyalty also increased.
The exact opposite has been measured in RTO. People are pissed, not working hard and looking for new jobs.
I would be. Even if they end up on site it'll be with another employer.
Same here. I can make a LOT more $$$ if I am willing to be on-site. If I for some reason cannot find another remote job I may take a on-site that pays MUCH better while I continue to look for a new fully-remote job. Either way, the old employer can piss off.
