RTO mandates are sometimes a simple action to a difficult issue that the company is not able to face. In my case we now have a RTO mandate to work from office at least 2 days a week, which means staring at a screen and attending Teams meeting from office instead of from home (there has been no thought beyond "you have to be in office") Why? Management seem to think that there is a productivity issue and that employees should work harder. But apparently, it's due to WFH and the fact that management has been horrible, that the company has gone through several rounds of layoffs with massive reduction in headcount over the last few years, and that salaries have essentially been frozen for 3 years has nothing to do with it. So, yes, CVs have been sent out.
