My work place is doing something similar. RTO (return to office) by some date near the end of the year. Failure to comply will result in some penalty or termination.

I don’t understand it. WFH has proved to be the same if not more productive than working in some stupid office. Company revenues and profits at highest point ever.

What’s even more fucking stupid is that the company is retiring some of their real estate in an attempt to save on costs yet they push this forced RTO.

The email they sent out was also a fucking joke — citing “tO pReSeRvE oUr UnIqUe CuLtUrE” bullshit that I have seen at other companies. It’s like they all hire the same PR firm to do their copywriting.

Makes you wonder if these executives are also well invested in corporate real estate. Thus the push towards RTO across the board.
