This is fake news. The industry standard is remote or hybrid work. Sorry to blow up your false claim.
@ax me too. Hang tough till severance. You are not alone!
@a7 just you wait, Bay area is just the beginning.
There are companies whose business model is built on WFH. Eliminates a lot of fixed expenses. They usually don’t have a lot of useless real estate or use it to downsize. Wouldn’t surprise me to see it offered more in the future. However it will probably be something that will be earned rather than a right. Bet some on this board know of some that completely misused this program regardless of the 12 hour days a lot were claiming to put in.
Wfh till surplus, then get unemployment at home . Win win 🥇
It was only for the HQ in the Bay Area. Not for everyone else. Most workers are remote. Tell the whole story OP.
This place is making me hate my life.
I’d be fine with RTO if there were an actual sane, logical, or intelligent reason for it. After years of building my expertise and mastering my craft, my work naturally requires independence. All I need is MS Teams—my peers aren’t even local. I used to go deep into my work, put in extra hours for free, even weekends on my own laptop, all in the name of mastery.
Now? I stick to the 8 hours. No more extra initiative, no more working on my own time, my own PC, or my weekends. My self-mastery and discipline now just mean I waste time driving to an office, do my job, hit the 8-hour mark, and leave. Nothing has improved. It all feels like part of an insane top-down agenda pushed by hybrid-drako narcissist CEOs answering to the reptiloid mothership—BlackRock.
All the local peers I used to admire have either been forced to relocate or pushed to look for opportunities outside the company.
Resistance to RTO is futile
You will be assimilated

Being done to reduce work force AND only impacts employees in the Bay Area. You missed that part OP.
Facebook has not followed…yet even though they are the same company.
Yeah, almost as if these companies are all taking marching orders from the same source. Otherwise, some of them would keep WFH and have their pick of top-tier candidates plus save on facility expenses.
Nope, not a rigged game.
