I haven’t had a fully collocated team in 15 years. The only purpose of RTO is tax breaks and stealth layoffs.

- diggan 3y ago> The only purpose of RTO is tax breaks and stealth layoffs God forbid there might be actual people (including developers) who prefer to work in an office with others. Impossible!
- mfost 3y agoThey are free to return to the office and work with each other in person then.
- diggan 3y agoRight, so there are more reasons for RTO than tax breaks and stealth layoffs then. Good to know.
- srveale 3y agoRTO usually means mandated, company wide RTO, not "there's an office if you want." So no, not right.
- eru 3y agoGoing by my own experience, everything being remotely or everything being in the office (regularly, but not necessary all the time) works best. It's hard to make a hybrid approach work, where some people are mostly in the office, and some people are always remote. However the extra burden falls mostly on the remote people, so I see not much of a reason to disallow people from going remote.
- geraldwhen 3y agoThey are not afforded that opportunity. They are required to work with remote people/groups across split sites.
- OJFord 3y agoOk sure, but God also forbid there might be people who don't? Or if someone on there team wants to work in an office with them they should have to go in like it or not? RTO is clearly not about 'end-employee' preferences, having an office can be about that, but RTO is just come to the office regardless of your preference.
