Not management, upper management. Executives make RTO decisions. Companies aren't a democracy, we're talking handful of people per company, max. That includes companies with tens of thousands of employees. Those people are typically egotistical and irrational. They have big ideas about what makes a good company and they execute them. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. They don't require rationale for office work. They like seeing their engineers in office and so it is done. Why? I dunno. Maybe that's the way it's always done. Maybe that's the way it should be done. We do it right here, not like those other companies. In actuality, it's because the CEO is a man-child who likes it and then conversation ends there. Does it cost money? Of course. I've seen millions burned in office politics; this shit is nothing.
