What’s the point of this? If you begin to think about how terrible RTO + sitting in a sea of 200 people is, you’ll drive yourself mad.

The people in charge want you to idle chat more and churn out work less. Why fight it.

Why do anything at all? If I value autonomy, I optimize for it. I will say this though. Our leadership's recent push for RTO ( and they openly said 'market changed' suggesting they think they can get away with it ) made us immediately looking for the doors.

They want to optimize for chatter, they won't have stuff done. And some stuff needs being done.

Nothing needs to get done. You are not your company. If they want to pay you to stare at the wall for 8 hours a day, that’s your job.
