Have any other UGH/Optum employees taken a look at the manager center return to office documentation they've provided on Sharepoint? It's an absolute joke.
There, you'll find such gems as how to maximize your RTO with "group flow, the state where teams work in sync with shared purpose and energy." As if this neo-hippy BS concept weren't silly enough all on its own, half the document where this is found (amidst the other documentation that is supposed to soften RTO, mind you) is spent talking about how to best achieve this mythical state while working remote. They seriously spend half of a RTO document talking about best practices for when you're working remote. Just one more sign that this RTO thing is misguided and half-hearted. Makes me think the people who say they are simply trying to force resignations are on to something.
Another document, designed to help address resistance to RTO, contains features such as a super Orwellian discussion of "understanding the resistance" complete with a creepy rating system that has these awful color codes and faces that are all frowny-sinister on one end and stupid-silly happy on the other. Each face corresponds to a type of employee and tips are given on addressing them. There's even direction on how to "build support for change" by "exposing employees in the neutral category to those in the active supporter category" in order to sway them. SMDH...
This is going to go over like a led balloon. I've already had a couple of contacts from companies because people I work with have used me as a reference in their job search.
