My company downsized their hq, made the new office space hoteling style so no place to even put your work in a file or have a permanent seat. If we had 1400 people pre Covid in the office they only got enough space for 800. I went in this week and I was one of four people. And I was on teams calls all day. Other than, yes, my colleague and I could chat about some work stuff, it was a total waste of our time. It’s insane to think they’re going to trim around and spend more money to bring us all back to a corporate office.

Does this make sense?

This can't be real life...

I have a coworker required to go into the office. He is the only person on our team of 8 that has to. He was hired before COVID, so was never labelled "full remote". He also is the only one close enough to be hit with the RTO policy

He has to do remote work all day (our systems are all SaaS or in a data center elsewhere). All his meetings are on Teams, with everyone else being remote or in another office

It was never about productivity. It's just layoffs by another name
