I know that RTO and the constant threat of layoffs are specifically aimed at getting people to quit but I don't care anymore. I'm ready to throw in the towel. I guess their strategy worked on me. My anxiety is through the roof and I'm tired of it. As soon as I find something half-decent, I plan to walk away. I'm too old for this cr-p.

I left in March for this reason and I am now finally feeling normal and glad I am back to a "normal" job.
I can relate so much to this, OP.
I left WF in June after 20 years of service. Absolutely no regrets. New company is amazing - I received a substantial sign-on bonus and a 30% pay raise. No toxic work culture, brilliant leadership, professional growth opportunities, great benefits, and a fun, positive work environment. The best part? I’m more or less doing the same job - this was a lateral move for me.
I’m not saying this to brag, but to encourage all of you who are burned out, feeling underpaid, and anxious to find something else. Do not hesitate - your emotional and mental health aren’t worth sacrificing to an employer who doesn’t care if you leave. You can find your own new beginning too.
Find a job first.
Accommodation to work remote for anxiety, do it.
Quiet Quit.
I think our leadership is too stup-d to have a strategy. What you are experiencing is really a product of their stup-d leadership.
@sjq if this employer is requiring somebody to begin therapy it might be proudest to look for a new place to work
It has become apparent my energy is better spent on getting out. This place is too disorganized and getting worse every day. If one is looking for hope, it isn’t here.
Don't let them push you out! Work with a therapist on your anxiety and see if you can get an accommodation.
It's about respect and treating people fairly. Honor remote contracts. Reward top performers with WFH. Pay people what they are worth. Manage out low peformers. Don't force low performance ratings to meet a curve. Have integrity. Instead we hire executives that treat higher paid positions like call center employees (which their treatment is not alright). We have no money to support the people doing the work, but can pay billions in fines and prioritize technology investment in remote monitoring. Make it make sense. It is just a lack of respect to people.
Odd that someone keeps suggesting opening trouble tickets when P2K went away last year.
Don’t quit. Get strategic and figure out how to manage out your supervisor. Determine your managers pain points. For example, constantly set one hour appointments on your manager’s calendar but only take five minutes. Keep opening trouble tickets.
Do everything by the book and call out your manager when they break procedures.
The NYC team doesn't care if everything good about the company is destroyed and all the experienced high performing employees quit, so long as they hit their magic numbers and keep getting paid their millions they are cool with it. The CEO and COO need to be fired, before it's to late.
It looks like you have been quiet fired
