I posted this as a comment, but decided to put it as a mention so everyone who is confused on the change of order for RTO can see the post.
The change in order has nothing to do with customers and collaboration as they have been spouting for the last 22 months, as CF naturally would be the first ones to return. It has everything to do with vax vs non vax statuses. NCF roles are vax at much higher percentage rates than CF roles. They want someone in a seat come 1/10 they don’t even care if it’s the wrong group based of customer interaction. They want to tell the board and shareholders someone came back. Do not believe what they are saying. The flip in RTO is only due to the percentage of vaccination. They are not even sure how they are going to bring CF back at this point that is how low the rates are. They were absolutely shocked at how low the rates were, which is crazy to me bc typically NCF roles education requirements are higher. There is definitely a correlation to education levels and vaccination rates. The fact it took them to Dec to realize the correlation is insane to me but here we are. As a result they scrambled and change plans last minute. It caught management completely off guard. It’s hard to manage communications with middle of the night decisions are made.
