What if some companies aren’t mandating a return to office for collaboration or culture—but because they want people to quit??

@d8 Bet your attitude changes when you stop receiving a paycheck and realize the job market isn’t as great as many believe. There are much worse jobs out there than banking. It took me six months to find a role similar to what I had since being cut last fall.
@fa it depends on what business line this person is in. Guessing if this person has been able to skate for as long as they have, they probably work in RMC, where RTO is applied inconsistently and favorites are played.
@d8 See ya. You'll be fired before bonus payout next March, if not sooner. Probably before 12/31 so you don't get 401K match or annual pension contribution in Jan either. But do what works for you. I despise RTO but am not interested in forfeiting $$$ that I have earned. So I go to work. RTO is the stupidest thing ever, but you either do it or you're out.
I won’t go back to office. Just waiting for them to fire me. I am not quitting either.
Yah
That's the point of RTO. It's to encourage as many people to quit as possible. This way companies can avoid paying severance as well as keeping layoffs out of the news, thereby preventing stock prices from falling. It's all about increasing shareholder value.
This.... Isn't a secret. Or new. It's also corporate real estate driven. There are so many posts discussing this with a lot of good responses if you just page back a ways.
