Five days a week in the office sucks. Agree this is mostly to try to get people to quit so they don’t have to pay. Have no doubt that the big portfolio managers will have no problem being MIA on Fridays while everyone else miserably marches in.[/quote]
100 percent.  The posts are just confirmation of Dostoeyevsky's statement that a human being can get used to anything (prison, pain, tortured suffering) [/quote]+1. So much of modern employment feels like a humiliation ritual. How much are you willing to degrade yourself and grovel and for how small of a wage?[/quote]

Being asked by your employer to go into the office is a humiliation ritual?  It's called work for a reason and you're paid to do it.  Please tell me that you're a troll.[/quote]

Not PP but yes, it is when it is done for no other reason than to make your life worse, in the hope that some people will quit and help cut costs.

Work can happen at home too. I’m sure you’re one of those people for whom it is a foreign concept but in modern professional services jobs it is not necessary for the work to happen in the same physical location.[/quote]

An inconvenience, maybe, but calling RTO a humilation ritual is just histrionics.  This is a First World problem, check your privilege.  And it you don't like your employer's terms, work for yourself.[/quote]

My spouse was work from home long before covid then made to go in five days a week.  The 60-90 minute commute was terrible and expensive and they used to work those hours and beyond and they just worked office hours.  Productivity went down and it was an issue with customers and co-workers all over they world. Everyone stopped the late night and early morning meetings as if the company would not give flexibility, why should they.[/quote]
