OMG right!?
I didn't even mention it in my main post, but half my team is out of state and exempt from RTO.
So half of us commute into an overcrowded office and walk to a meeting room just to join a damn teams call. I hate being in person without a headset and having to yell at a room microphone and look at a smaller screen than I have at home.
Everything about it is inferior than what we had at home. It is harder to hear, harder to see, harder to communicate, takes longer to commute, longer to have to walk to meetings vs click join.
All the RTO seems like execs playing "everyone else is doing it, don't want to be left behind" or something.
Remote work just makes it crystal clear that competent people can do their jobs with nearly no management. It's perfectly natural for management to be opposed to it.
