Comment on Business execs just said the quiet part out loud on RTO mandates — A quarter admit forcing staff back into the office was meant to make them quit

  Corporate execs these days are not exactly known for their long term thinking. Doesn’t matter if the doors are flying off your airplanes tomorrow as long as the stock price goes up today.

  Ease on the rto rules until people are comfy and yank the chain again. Rinse and repeat every 5 years and you can continuously flush out the seniors for freshly graduated blood.

    I’d be hesitant to work for a company that has a reputation of calling remote employees to RTO. At least, I’d factor that in when deciding to take the job and need a much higher salary for the reduced job security.

      Hey pal, we’re trying to maximize this quarter’s profits. You’re holding a negative long-term view which is keeping the team from synergizing though magical hallway conversations, so why don’t you take an action item to realign your personal KPIs with the company’s and we’ll circle back next week to touch base.

        You can maximize profits, or, you can create sustainable value. That’s on you, brother …

        I’m good with maximizing company KPIs, as long as they balance out to a positive benefit for me in the long run. Otherwise, what are we doing here?

      I wish there was an actual solid company review site for jobs. Glassdoor was supposed to be that but quickly enshittified cause it got bought by shitty companies that didnt want their ex employees/victims whistleblowing

  Only has to work once, you pocket the savings on severance packages one time and then go back to regular layoffs.

  Dystopian as all hell, but such is the corporate world.
