There are multiple FAANG companies involved, so I am sure they would make an example of me if they had a chance. I think the push for RTO is due in some small part to the fact that my situation is almost impossible for companies to prevent right now.
That last suggestion actually seems like a good idea that I hadn't thought of. I think I would fit a lot better as a CTO than a CEO, so I will see if I can aim in that direction.
