Comment on Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit
GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoWhy’s that? Lots of people DID quit due to this. They knew it was a free way to get reduced headcount without needing to do layoffs, thus avoiding the negative publicity.
Then they can rehire people for cheaper, with explicit in office / hybrid contract terms

They’re referring to the other 3/4 of managers & hr who responded that they didn’t want employees to leave because of return to office policies.
They, apparently, genuinely believed that rto would have some tangible benefits, or were just trying to make their employees lives harder for a laugh, and didn’t expect it to affect headcount at all.
