[quote=Anonymous]My theory (based on observations, which are of course anecdotal) is that the people pushing RTO are leaders who never really did much real work— those for whom a days work was always about just being present. 
Anyway, my office did something very similar to OP back in September and it hasn’t gone well. All employees within 50 miles are required to be in the office 3 days a week— 2 core days and 1 other day of choice. Most meetings still happen by zoom or teams, since a majority of people were hired remotely. My boss has only 3 people in the DC area on his team— the rest are all remote. Many days I don’t talk in person to a single soul while in office. So far I’ve counted 3 people who have left since the RTO began (and 2 people who left just before and I assume it was related). Which of course may be what leadership wanted: a ‘no layoff’ layoff. The problem, of course, is that the people who left are the best performers who had no trouble finding a new job. I am hopeful I will be the next out the door, pending a few upcoming interviews. 
But leadership seems happy so everything is great. And they offer free single use bottled water, so who wouldn’t want to drive into DC and do their bit to destroy the earth? [/quote]
