Valuable read on the return to office policy (RTO).
The data we gathered is clear: RTO is not an improvement.
Why still do it? Because again: management sucks and does not care for you, or even the bottom line.
RTO is a management issue. Either you have incompetent managers, incompetent employees who need to be cut loose, or expectations have not been correctly set for the job.
RTO makes sense for individual employees who need to be put on a performance plan, and it makes sense for certain public facing, or partner facing roles. But if the job doesn’t require to be physically present then there is no need for a blanket RTO policy.
If you can’t manage a performing employee who is remote, you are just cutting yourself off of talent pool and hurting the business. Chances are you are good at managing them in the office as well

Supervisors lie about this shit bc working from home points out how middle management isn’t necessary.

Arguably most of top-management as well.
Guys like Musk and Bezos just take their cut without doing usefull, the former even actively sabotaging his own operations.
But then leave with a golden parachute, with the Average Joe foots the bill while they are avoiding paying their fair share in taxes.

Or worse, they sometimes get a net refund.
And then there are places that pay so little that their employees technically qualify for things like food stamps, so our tax dollars are subsidizing the poverty wages they choose to pay.
