Not just with this but other changes I am seeing, my strategy is to be in the top 20% talent and broaden my skillset so that I can have options. RTO is one thing but what if employment in tech itself becomes difficult. You already need lots of social networking and groveling as it is. You know what I keep wondering, why don't these companies look at the numbers and say "if you want to WFH you will get a 20% paycut" instead? People who are good at their job and like the company might just stick around even then. They get to save on top expensive talent.
