I have to assume somebody's done a cost analysis on rto and determined that keeping their boots on our necks is more profitable in the long run than employees being happier and more productive.

This just layoffs with a different name.

IBM is the poster child for never considering the long term effects of its actions. At one point or another in history, IBM was the #1 company making software, databases, managed compute, personal computers, servers, Unix, laptop computers, servers.

Yeah they're going to drive down costs by having employees quit due to RTO 🤣
