Let me preface this by saying I don't have much of an opinion for or against RTO, but I feel like there's too much emotion attached to companies mandating RTO by tech employees. I'm at a company that is mandating RTO and for the past couple months there has been tons of whining and moaning in public slack channels, team Q&As, company wide Q&As, HR Q&As, being passive aggressive etc. All this behavior has reeked of immense entitlement, leaving a bad taste in my mouth.<p>The fact remains that a company exists to make money. When a company mandates RTO, generally it's doing so because it believes that's the best way to get the maximum output of it's resources against whatever metrics they are measuring against.<p>Employees should feel like the relationship between them and their employer is mutually beneficial, if that's no longer the case, pursue external opportunities.<p>We are incredibly lucky we are in a field that has a high demand for strong engineers, so you should be able to find what you are looking for.
