If you all are in the office for the same three days a week (Tu-Th) then you aren't saving anything on real estate costs- you still need to have desks for everyone in the company at the same time. The only way you save on real estate costs is allowing flexibility on which days you come in, such that some people are in Mon-Wed and some are in MWF and some are in TuThFri etc. Then you can share desks and save money on real estate, because five people can share three desks. But then every meeting will still have people working from home that day, and so you will be in the office but on Zoom to your regular coworkers. So the two goals are incompatible: saving costs on real estate necessarily means spreading people's WFH days out such that no more than 60% of the company is in the office on any given day, but then you don't really get the 'easy to talk to people, have meetings and build culture' effects that RTO is supposed to kick off.
