It was to go RTO full time.
You cannot go half a decade and blow it up like that.
It’s a cauldron of bad mojo and stupidity sprinkled with greed.
Bad corporate decision made my dei and fools.

Omg, they’re making me go to work in an office building. Grow the f up!
you're free to leave...
No they won’t realize anything. They’ll just pop popcorn and watch people suffer is all they’ll do.
Groups in MMK went forced hybrid in 2008 bc of space and forced desk sharing, then in 2009 offered full remote for anyone wanted it. It coincided with FMRI and global teams within BUs there.
This whole theory that hybrid was only since covid, or remote was only because of covid is so disingenuous. It may not have been every group prior to 2020, but it was definitely more the rule than the exception
@a9, no it wasn’t. I was here for a bit before lockdown and it was very flexible. In fact in the past 10-15 years, I only had one fairly brief job that required being in the office all day every day, and that seemed restrictive and odd.
Several years before Covid they were pushing hoteling. This has to be an attrition move because they don't want to pay out severance. They aren't going to get rid of us easily without giving us severance.
@OP Then leave
I was hybrid 1-2 days a week for 5 years before COVID. Yeah I'd like to go back to how things were before. Not whatever this is. This was not how it was before, for many people.
@a9 huh? Hybrid working existed years before COVID. They were actually rolling it out to more teams (Ops) in 2017.
This is a push for attrition, period. They want people to leave while avoiding negative press.
no...they won't. THis was how it was before covid. You were probably a baby back then.
