At what point do we employees just stop playing along with this ridiculous RTO policy?
Seriously, what happens if we collectively decide that enough is enough and stop treating 5x RTO like it’s some sacred commandment?
They can’t fire everybody. And if they tried, they’d have an even bigger problem on their hands - like a massive talent and productivity disaster worse than we are already seeing.
The irony of this whole thing is “leadership” has created a policy so unpopular that the only thing keeping it functioning may be the assumption that everyone has to comply individually.
Maybe it’s time to start asking what happens when employees realize they have leverage too.
Five-day RTO isn’t inevitable. It’s a BS policy no others in the industry follow. A policy we didn’t even follow ourselves for decades before Covid, and policies can be changed. Maybe that’s what it takes.
