We’re you in the workforce in 2020? The entire point of RTO is a reference to returning to the office from when we all decided to not go to work to slow the spread of disease. If you want a direct example, our first on-site after COVID led to half of my team getting COVID despite testing and masking precautions.

If I weren't, would I see examples of such blog posts in your reply?

  Why would I point you to a blog post with an example when I already provided one in the post, and when the unspoken premise of the term RTO is a reference to the worldwide phenomena of people not going to the office to avoid spreading a disease. You may not mean to, but you are coming across as intentionally obtuse. Apologies for my tone of that isn’t the case.

    Because that's the topic here. Blog posts venting against "RTO". The message I responded to claimed that TFA didn't have anything "new", but to me, as far as I know this genre, that point being brought up was new. So I asked for examples, so if they exist and this isn't actually uncommon in such blog posts and I've just been unlucky, then I might find some interesting blogs to read. The absolute bulk of somewhat popular tech work blogging is done by very boring, very self-centered people, and I've found caring about epidemic disease to be a decent indicator that people might not be in short-form social media. But a bunch of what looks to me like illiterate cretins got in the way. Maybe they're not, but by now I don't really care either way, and have given up on the potential for blog recommendations.

I work in the healthcare industry. Because of this, a lot of people on my extended team still had to go to work, and see patients and their families face-to-face. The worst part of 2020 for me was repeatedly removing coworkers from the intranet as they died.
