in no universe should that take precedent over the massive quality of life improvements WFH offers for the worker

They don’t give 1/10th of a shit about worker comfort or joy. It’s all about shareholder profits and control. And as the article was saying, about trying to dump blame. The great thing is, again, as stated in the article, that these RTO companies are severely limiting their talent pool. It will start to become clearer and clearer that companies that moved totally WFH retain employees and will see more benefits for their bottom line.

I mean, think about it for two seconds, how can renting office space and equipment and all the office supplies in every office location for one company be justified when all it gives you is a smaller talent pool, less happy workers making productivity sink and and turnover skyrocket, and an excuse when you need it?

It’s just craziness. It’s stupid bosses and rich people sacrificing the worker for…I honestly don’t know what is driving them to do this, because I can’t imagine they are getting any benefit at all.
