It’s not my argument, I am just repeating the results discussed in the article. Perhaps there are unrelated factors, but diversity did decrease after RTO. Just as an example of how it plays out in practice, commute time is an externality the company just pushes onto employees. If you’re salaried, you aren’t paid for it despite it being required. This is time which could be used for other things. Of course this affects people more if they have responsibilities outside of their job. My broader point is that these meetings effectively reframed collective problems, where many women (and men) had shared labor interests, into an individual “grindset” issue. Therefore an RTO mandate which should have been a major dispute was never really questioned.
