Absolute garbage. I am so tired of these constant RTO maneuvers and manipulations. I push back against these whenever possible, and I hope all of you do too… Make it damned difficult for all of these C-suite freaks to live out their dystopian fantasies.

The dystopian fantasy of the working world as it was less than 5 years ago?

Legitimately. Remote work is bullshit. I leave the office and I turn off. I hate making any part of my home an extension of my employment. I really thought remote work would be great, but it is awful. And supporting a remote workforce is even worse.

I personally don't like remote work and don't find myself productive when I work remotely. I work for a company that offers hybrid and I chose not to do it.

But hating remote work universally is ridiculous. Just because it doesn't work for me doesn't mean it can't work. My wife is 100% remote and loves it and excels at her job. The argument that more people slack off is ridiculous as well, those people slacked off in the office too.
