Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Tell me again about the added value in RTO

I have been with the company for 15 years and have always worked from home. I've spent exactly 16 days in the office during that time. I had to familiarize new employees with our processes. I chose to do it in person all 4 times. We've never needed a second car, and my work hours have been pretty flexible, depending on business demands. Some months flow by easily enough. Others might require crazy hours. We live 31 miles from the office so I will drive 62 miles each day. I've been monitoring the route on google maps, and the route stays red (traffic) during the morning and evening commutes. No realistic public transportation, so we had to buy a car. Then there's the full coverage insurance since the car is financed. We guesstimate for fuel will be about $135-150. Monthly commute will be about 800 miles, so there is depreciation on that new car. My team does a collaboration call on Teams 3 times each week, but we largely work independently, so I won't be collaborating with anyone in the physical office space. I've participated in a couple of calls in recent months where other teams are so excited to be able to talk with coworkers face to face, plan extensive lunches and events, and to play games. Yeah...play games. Working from home, I go to my home office and no one disturbs me until I either break for lunch, or the end of my shift. It is clear how much my family is losing due to the RTO mandate. I would love for ATT to prove to me that my individual sacrifice is worth it.

Cmon folks…there is no added value ! It’s CLEARLY a passive aggressive force reduction….period. No further discussion needed.
