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.

    My former employer did RTO with 2 weeks notice, no exceptions. A coworker who had actually moved to a different state moved their family again to comply, only to be laid off months later.

    I had sold my car and planned to never own another. Plus the few times I had been in the office were awful, managing virtual meetings with coworkers around and overseas, listening to a sales rep in the next cubicle discussing how best to defraud their customers, etc. I loved that job and my boss fought hard for my ability to stay remote, but they were convinced 100% RTO is the only way to survive the tariffs.
