    I think this article goes to show just how out of touch execs are with employees. The overwhelming majority of people resented RTO and were very vocal about it, execs pushed it hard, and now they’re all surprise Pikachu face when attrition skyrocketed and morale plummeted. People on my team used to somewhat give a shit about our work, but now not a single one of us has the motivation to go the extra mile after we’ve been shown our well being doesn’t mean shit.

      It’s interesting to me because I work for a relatively small company. The owners sent out a survey that was basically like “what do you want to do, office hybrid or remote.” The results came in and it was overwhelmingly either full remote or 1-2 days a week. Their next email was basically “this surprised us, but okay. We’ll close the office when the lease is up and move to a smaller one to accommodate. Also we’re now hiring in over a dozen states.” They just…asked. And then they modified their plan based on it. And most people stuck around. It was that simple.
