My company forced a three day a week hybrid, despite major pushback from the employees and a lot of resignations after it was implemented. They’re now trying to nudge people to come in every day.

On Mondays and Fridays the CEO comes in, pacing around, unamused the big fancy space is sitting empty.

All the executives want to force full time RTO but of course they come in late (if at all) or leave early whenever they want as nobody monitors their schedule. Rules for thee and not for me.

A friend of mine works at a company that keeps pushing full time RTO. One of the big arguments is the CEO is always there every single day. “Setting the tone“.

For an hour or two. The rest of the time he works from home.

You can guess what the employees think of that. It is absolutely not a secret. The big believer doesn’t follow his own rules.

But even if he did, so what? Someone with skin in the game on life changing money or equity will have different motivations to someone just doing a job to get by.

We can slice it the way we want. We can talk about office space cost or "decreased productivity" or whatever. The real reason these execs are pissed at remote workers is because these filthy peons now get to enjoy a bit of the freedom/flexibility that was until then reserved to them.
