Wasn’t quite sure what community to post this…
A recent EnhancV survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. workers subject to new or stricter return-to-office policies found that 72 percent suspect these mandates are really a voluntary attrition strategy — a strategy by their own employers to make them quit their jobs.
The damage is strategic, not merely emotional. Baylor University’s reporting on office mandates and brain drain found that firms with mandates faced greater turnover among women, senior employees, managers and high-skilled workers, while job vacancy duration increased and hiring rates declined. In other words, the people with the most options are often the first to leave. The employees who remain may not be the most committed — they may simply be the least mobile.


I think we might work at the same place lol
We all do. Because all RTO is bullshit and they know it. The government mandated a big push for it and all the CEOs had been salivating for it the whole time and all piled in too. It’s a huge step backwards, but it’s a way to prop up their real estate values and assert control and also bonus soft layoffs in a struggling economy and it’s at the employees’ expense! The bourgeois love to squeeze every last dollar out of the proletariat.
We all constantly get royally fucked by the government and the lack of worker protections or unions. I don’t get why literally every working class person isn’t voting for and fighting for unions and protections and better wages and all that.
