That’s been its sole purpose since it started sweeping through the corporate world. Any company with a real long-term outlook would keep flexibility, as it builds a thriving, creative, and dedicated workforce. RTO, on the other hand, is designed to make people quit out of inconvenience or sheer inability to comply. It’s the cheapest way to shed headcount. And the moment you hear words like “collaboration,” “belonging,” or any other corporate fluff used to justify RTO, you can be sure it’s 100% about cutting staff.
