    RTO itself is poor management. it’s 2024, what the fuck are you doing. office work isn’t some peak utopian concept, it’s only really been a thing for around a century, and it’s grown increasingly miserable as productivity skyrockets while wages don’t. any honest person hates it, and it is objectively archaic now that we have the internet

    yeah, zoom meetings do suck, talking is more awkward, collaboration is harder, vibes are harder to maintain. but in no universe should that take precedent over the massive quality of life improvements WFH offers for the worker. internal work dynamics mean fuck all versus not having to leave your home/family/pets for 8+ hours every day
