I somehow did. My previous company started to enforce everyone living in cities in which they had offices, to RTO. I was working far away from any of such cities, and they let me continue working remotely. But seeing many of my colleagues go to the office just to open Zoom to chat with me was sad. I found another (remote) job and resigned. |

It wasn't the entire decision, but a large part of it was seeing people who live near an office being forced to return.
I wasn't likely to impacted anytime soon given I lived no where near an office and was working as a contractor, but I've seen it before where once you have a mix of people in office and others working remotely the remote workers tend to become second class citizens. I had this happen at a previous position where I was often left out of meetings and discussion I should have been in I suspect because people in the office saw it as bothersome to bring a laptop with video conference me in.
I left for a remote-first company a month ago. I didn't want to return to office, but I to be honest I wouldn't have minded that much if I lived close. I just wasn't in that position.
