    RTO for the company I work for is under the guise of “culture, vibrance, and collaborative work”, but really it’s that they own a ton of office space/buildings, invest in said retail office space.

    It also works as a “lay off” without actually firing people because they know people will leave for other jobs with forced RTO.

      they know people will leave for other jobs with forced RTO.

      But, as per the Dead Sea Effect, it’s never the people they should want to shed. The earliest to depart are the most mobile, and they’re mobile because they’re talented, effective and marketable. This evaporation proceeds until nothing but salt remains.
