[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we have to go back to the old way of doing things if there are new and improved ways of doing so? For everyone who's saying we used to go in 5 days a week and we had to find childcare, etc- that's right. We did, including me.  But needs and technology have evolved so if there's a better way that includes a healthier work-life balance and checks and balances to ensure work is being done, it just seems like a win-win to me. Keeps cars off the roads for people who do have to work in-person 100%, saves the government money in terms of leases/utility bills/transit subsidies, and makes for happier employees.

[b]Seems like people just don't want others to have better circumstances than they did [/b](just like when the government went to paid family leave- I scraped together enough leave and also had to take unpaid leave for my kids, but I am happy for the feds who get paid leave).

Signed- a fed with teens who doesn't begrudge anyone having a good work-life balance.

Why aren’t these posters insisting we all hand wash laundry and give birth without an epidural. That is how things used to be done! Mothers before us struggled so we should too right?[/quote]

Have you noticed all of the business leaders who have pushed RTO? Are they all a bunch of dinosaurs who just hate mid-day yoga and extra work time for gentle parenting? Wow you’re insufferable.[/quote]
You’re insufferable. Those business leaders pushed it as a tool for stealth layoffs.

[quote][b]A quarter of bosses admit their return-to-office mandates were meant to make staff quit[/b]

Bosses have spent the better part of two years summoning their employees back to the office, making remote-loving workers “quiet quit” in protest, while others have threatened to quit for real. But that’s secretly what a significant chunk of CEOs were hoping for.

According to new research from BambooHR, a survey of over 1500 U.S. managers found that a quarter of C-suite executives hoped for some voluntary turnover among workers after implementing a RTO policy.

Meanwhile, one in five HR professionals admitted their in-office policy was meant to make staff quit.[/quote]

If I could use RTO to weed out all of my colleagues who don’t work 8 hours a day I would also do that. Really hope it’s implemented immediately [/quote]
Why? The plan is not to replace them with other people. How will it improve your life?[/quote]
