You can’t apply a single policy wholesale on so many various people with different levels of productivity, skills, batches of tasks, experience, and personal circumstances, and make it work. I don’t think leadership cares if it works for us, but how they think it’s working for them is beyond me. It’s proven already that RTO makes the best leave first, and that it significantly decreases productivity and morale. They could have found smarter ways to get rid of us if that had been their only intent.

I know, right? Shut up, take your lumps, and provide more value to the corporation!
O.P. states: "You can’t apply a single policy wholesale on so many various people..."
Well, that is kind of a doofus statement. of course you can, it's easy.
Show up, AT WORK, on your assigned days, at your assigned start time, stay for your full assigned work hours... oh yes, and WORK !! (I'll bet that made most of you cry) wah, wah
If you don't have scheduled hours then YOU should volunteer to make a workable schedule for you group......
It's not hard for real people, SHOW UP on time, WORK your full shift....... sheesh, these bab1es today..
It’s ridiculous to continue hearing complaints about RTO when we all knew it was coming for such a long time.
“ I don’t think leadership cares if it works for us”
Bingo!
Stank has no idea what we all do besides taking HIS money to feed our mouths. This will be another piece of proof to his insane incompetences.
Getting rid of us isn’t the only reason. It’s just the main reason. Tech companies with much better software than us can see everything their employees weren’t doing and made the same choice so back to work we go.
It’s working John! They’re really pi---d!
Yes, most of us RTO for years. Everyone. This is nothing new.
It confirmed that RTO:
A: Is to help Middle Managers stay relevant.
B: Monitor employees regardless of whether they do well at the job.
C: Help maintain the value of Corporate Real Estate.
- Is hypocritical considering large companies are paying money to people to do work 3000 - 4000 miles away offshore because they are cheaper.
It was proven that WFH:
A: Increased productivity and performance for the vast majority of people.
B: Reduced traffic, pollution, crime, tardiness, costs, expenses, corporate complaints, etc. (The list goes on)
C: Improved communication because whether you like it or not - Slack and Teams are always on and so are you.
The trend line is clear that WFH will dominate. You can only hold on and create excuses for so long like earths Feminists. Eventually you will need a man (or his tools) to have a baby, move furniture, or do something - LOL
Companies with hybrid or full RTO policies are just trying to save their Corporate Real Estate that exists on the balance sheet, shore up confidence in the MM's, and hover over their employees. Monitoring employee attendance and "making attendance a part of your review" goes right back to elementary school as a method of behavioral control. Kids still think school is boring (at home or in school) and we feel work is the exact same thing.
What I think is interesting is someone like Microsoft and AT&T will fire you even when you come into work every day. So that attendance record means absolutely nothing to Human Resources.
