A few years back, I worked at a "unicorn" startup that also did the pandemic remote work thing, then tried reeling it back in 2022. I remember one of the SVP's explaining how reasonable the RTO policy was, even for those who—like her—had moved away from NYC. She simply rented an apartment a few blocks from the office—midtown Manhattan—and stayed there during the week. Like her, we just needed to make our own adjustments to accommodate the new policy. I'd seen "out of touch" before. But suggesting that everyone just get their own Pied-à-terre still pretty much takes the cake for degree of out of touch I've witnessed personally.
