Tech CEOs are backtracking on their RTO mandates—now, just 3% of firms asking workers to go into the office full-time

Research shows tech CEOs have given up on rigid RTO policies.

Leaders are perhaps experiencing more resistance than they had anticipated.

Amazon is perhaps the most documented example of how ugly the RTO battle can get: Around 30,000 employees signed a petition protesting the company’s in-office mandate, and more than 1,800 pledged to walk out from their jobs to take a stand.

The tech giant is still complaining that workers are dodging the three-day in-office mandate, over a year after it was announced.

    I love how Fortune ignores their previous reporting. We all know that RTO was largely about control and a sunk cost in property. It still is. Companies switch between RTO and WFH whenever they want to restructure. Efficiency is the argument, but that’s not the goal. Fortune staff know this, but they’re writing for the bosses, so they feign ignorance. Meh.

      Also Fortune is ignoring the serious damage done to the health of many industries by arbitarily hurtig workers and forcing them off of career paths for no fucking reason.

      Fuck MBA rich asshats, people need to stop putting them in charge of things they dont know shit.
