The weird thing with the back to office push is how consistent it is across companies. It has to be a McKinsey consultant or something, because all companies that push going back in are doing the 3 days in office hybrid basically. Its too uniform.
Completely agree how much collusion between companies there is though.
They all have a vested interest in molding work-file culture to their benefit.
I've yet to see any metrics that show forced RTO improves productivity, engagement, or anything else in white-collar industries.
