can justify this much energy, resources and time being spent on forcing people to come back to offices. There never was any other sensible reason for RTO, and it doesn’t seem to be working out entirely as desired. For now. What will be the next idea to make our lives miserable?

Op is right.
In my opinion it was never about “Local” RTO. (Local RTO is the diversion).
The RTO “out of state” targeting older employees was and still is their true play.
The idea is to run the RTO plays in parallel so that they can hide what they are doing in plain sight. When it’s all said and done they will have succeeded in the first ever human game of Yatzee! You remember the rules of that game don’t you?
The player (Company A) gets three rolls (Wave 1, 2 and 3), to shake up the dice (the employees) and pick and hand pick which ones they discard and which ones to keep.
- Already have your 5’s and 6’s? (50’s and 60’s), pick the 2’s and 3’s and shake up the rest and spill the dice out to a new location.
- Still rolled a pesky 5? (employee agrees to move), Simply discard the dice and tell the employee that the position is now terminated.
But since this the Human game of Yatzee!, it’s not just about discarding the 5’s and 6’s. It’s also about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Therefore with each Wave or roll of the dice, they’re also focused on 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, etc. (preferred age, race, gender).
We should subpoena the replacement job requisitions opened up in Workday. The audit records would provide a clear correlation between requisitions and those that were forced to drown in the Wave 1, 2, 3, shakeup. From there it would be easy to validate the demographic of the replacement hire. I doubt you would ever see for example, a fifty something white male from Wave 2 being replaced with a fifty something white male in Atlanta.
Yahtzee!!!
Oh there is more coming. Wait till the strike is over
“I heard their next move is to identify the Coffee Badgers and make it mandatory to be in the office a minimum number of hours on RTO days, eg. 6 hour minimum as measured by your pc login location”
Good for them, more wasted productivity, resources, etc on this.
Guess we will see if Jay and Co can program his way out of a paper bag.
Too bad due to how fragmented everything is it will probably only work on Windows so I’ll skate by yet again.

It’s “working” like a charm for the C suite. The pressure/stress are at an all time high, as morale & motivation at are an all time low!
“ Please provide some other explicit examples!! Oh wait, never mind.”
I tried, I hit the character limit.
“ He's got too big of an ego to admit something he championed failed so miserably.”

Call it what it is -- a way to force senior employees out without paying a severance. It was never about collaboration.
Sadly, as long as Stankey is CEO, this is not likely to go away. He's got too big of an ego to admit something he championed failed so miserably.
