basically because they picked a fight and lost no actual remorse

  > basically because they picked a fight and lost Did they lose? Pretty sure the prevailing sentiment among the C-level has effectively become "Get back to your cube and shut up because we said so, or little Timmy won't be getting his braces." here in the US.

    In the long term, they will lose out. It's like Tinder vs your local dating pool. Why limit your options to a very small subset of people, when better options are just a tap away (ssh tunnel away)?

      >Why limit your options to a very small subset of people, when better options are just a tap away (ssh tunnel away)? Employers like control. Relationships (your example) are pretty similar actually. Why would someone settle for a partner below their standards? Simple, they enjoy having control in the relationship. Why would an employer settle for a sub-optimal employee? Dependability and reliance.

  i don't think this is anything other than the intended outcome. C-Suites knew attrition would be high, and regardless of what the managers who had to implement the policy might have thought companies knew that return to office was just layoffs in disguise.
