The people who are fighting RTO have a failed strategy ruining it for everyone.
They could have simply gone back into the office, knowing that over time they could fade back into WFH.
An extra day here and there... slowly making that extra day all the time, then adding another extra day here and there.. repeat.
I made my job WFH. My boss was hundreds of miles away. I'd have days where I decided to just log in from home. Over the course of a year, I moved myself to fully remote. My boss did not see a drop in productivity so he decided to have me fill out a telecommuters agreement and made me full time WFH as he could then save AU charges for my in office work space. A few others on my team had done the same. And we all became full time WFH.
All everyone had to do was ride it out for a year or two, creeping more and more time at home.
Instead you all have struck a nerve with the executives who see the fighting RTO as questioning their authority. You've dinged their ego and will pay for it.
And now others will pay the consequences of your stupidity because you created a nanny state of reports ran against everyone badging in.
It could have been a strategic fade back to WFH. You screwed it up for everyone.
