If we read the article instead of just the headline, we see that it makes clear that Microsoft has a hybrid arrangement, and that said hybrid arrangement has still resulted in a loss of employees.

>Microsoft, which also enacted a hybrid RTO approach, saw a decline of 5 percentage points.

“Hybrid RTO” is still RTO.

Requiring people to come to the office 3 days a week for no reason other than executives and managers getting off on control is moronic.

“Hybrid” RTO has literally no benefit over RTO except for being able to say “hybrid”.

It forces all of the same problems as RTO - cost and location of living, planning for not being home, massive commute times, etc

In that case it's really hard to pin it on RTO.
Something like 3 days per week is pretty much RTO.
It sounds like it is group dependent. Some managers might insist on firm RTO. Hard to get to that level of nuance from high level numbers.
going from remote to hybrid is still RTO, just not full RTO
Yeah I mean it doesn't capture the people that moved after wfh was implemented. Hybrid is appealing if your office is 500 miles away.

Claiming it's hybrid is disingenuous imo.
