@OP,
Let me give you an example... when you work, let's say in Expert Labs, Expert Labs never ever had to go to the IBM office because we always work with customers whether on site or remote that are 100s, 1000s miles away. What is the point for an Expert Labs guy to have to come to the IBM office to work with customers that are not there?
IBM will tell you to collaborate with other people?!?! Like who? Again, we have to focus on our customers that are 1000s miles away and work with them.
It is a waste a time, burns gas for nothing, not to mention add to traffic, etc...
We all know what the purpose of RTO is, pi-s people off so they resign, that way IBM does not have to pay severance when it does layoffs.
But hey, I am glad you are enjoying RTO. I think for you, we should make it 5 days a week! I have no doubt that will come some day...
