RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: Study::Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.

RTO for the company I work for is under the guise of "culture, vibrance, and collaborative work", but really it's that they own a ton of office space/buildings and invest in said retail office space.

It also works as a "lay off" without actually firing people because they know people will leave for other jobs that don't have forced RTO.

they know people will leave for other jobs with forced RTO.

But, as per the Dead Sea Effect, it's never the people they should want to shed. The earliest to depart are the most mobile, and they're mobile because they're talented, effective and marketable. This evaporation proceeds until nothing but salt remains.

There's no way kickbacks from oil companies due to resumption of long commutes isn't a part of this. They even said the local ~~businesses~~parasites that ~~feed on~~profit from employees needing to buy food during lunch benefit from this.
