The sole content of the RTO “collaboration” controversy as applied to these big global companies is whether it’s better to join Zoom calls from your desk in an open office, or from home. The answer to that is obvious to anyone who’s tried it.
Tech offices only work to the extent that everyone in them is wearing noise canceling headphones all the time - a technological simulation of not being there.
It tends to work pretty well remotely too. You don't need to be in person to collaborate when needed.
You sound like a bitter contractor. And even if you aren’t, support your fellow proles.
To me it sounds like you are just very bitter that you either was too incompetent to get one of those nice paychecks, or you are just some rich asshole that finds it very icky that some regular people can get a decent paycheck.
In either case, I can disregard your opinion.
