Adding my own anecdote about this: Despite the job ad, recruiter and hiring manager all confirming "yes we are a remote first company", Hybrid-RTO was announced recently with a mandatory minimum of one day in the office for those who live in HQ city. And while on the one hand I appreciate the Hybridization of "if you want to work primarily from the office, fine, if you want to work primarily from home, fine", it also doesn't feel like a true choice of home or office considering my manager has nagged me each Friday since this was announced because "someone said you only went to the office once this week?" Which I guess means someone in leadership has someone else silently taking attendance and reporting back to managers who shows up and who doesn't? Within my department and even my functional team of six, I'm the only one who actually lives in the HQ city-which means I'm beholden to the RTO. Which means even when it's time to have face-to-face, talkie-talkies with people on my team or in my department, even if I'm in the office: none of them are. Is it worth leaving over? Probably not. I've been very firm on my boundaries and disconnecting from work, and so far the company hasn't tried stepping over them. Frankly, I'd probably be in the office a lot more if we didn't subscribe to that stupid-damn open office workspace layout, and the internet weren't so dodgy..
