I have always made it very clear to the companies I have worked at remotely if they mandated RTO I would be looking for a new job. I have also been very clear that full time remote is not negotiable when looking for a new job via recruiters or HR people.
I already take a pay cut to be fully remote and I am willing to take it. Otherwise I could make a LOT more than what I make now but I would be commuting a minimum of 1hr each way 5 days a week. The loss of time, fuel costs, lack of flexibility for errands/etc is just not worth it to me. I even have multiple internet connections in the event one is down so I can still work when others can't. I consider it the cost of business when you work remote.
