This just sounds like CEOs not understanding how we leverage chat. Most of the best ideas are made in collaborative chat where people have the time to formulate their thoughts and be direct about ideas without the loudest person in the room drowning them out. Zoom meetings are 1/4 small talk and 1/2 bullshit with just enough work getting done to justify the wasted hour. In office meetings are even worse. I think many just miss the echo chamber of ass kissing and/or commiseration they get when employees are on prem.
Honestly, if I got R.T.O’d, I’d make it a point to just be that much more hostile to management; and I already operate from a point of "I only do what was negotiated for and not a scintilla of a second more; fuck you if you demand more and think my response ain’t gonna be ‘trick, pay me’."
“It’s the impromptu-ness of in-person — so for example, I was at the office and there was somebody from Chicago, she was in the San Francisco office — ‘Oh do you have time to go and chat and have a meeting about a strategy that we’re rolling out?’”
What they’re really saying is that this person from Chicago doesn’t understand how to plan or schedule.
