Wasn’t quite sure what community to post this…

A recent EnhancV survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. workers subject to new or stricter return-to-office policies found that 72 percent suspect these mandates are really a voluntary attrition strategy — a strategy by their own employers to make them quit their jobs.

The damage is strategic, not merely emotional. Baylor University’s reporting on office mandates and brain drain found that firms with mandates faced greater turnover among women, senior employees, managers and high-skilled workers, while job vacancy duration increased and hiring rates declined. In other words, the people with the most options are often the first to leave. The employees who remain may not be the most committed — they may simply be the least mobile.

    Its not just bad for the people that were working from home, but for the people that didn’t have the option as well. Being able to come to work and put on music, having clean restrooms and space in the break room, the low amount of commuting traffic. Now everyone is forced back and it sucks so much being crowded again and spending twice the amount of time getting to and from work.

      One of my favorite things about the night of the pandemic was that though I had to go in to work as an essential worker, the commute was so easy. I put my cruise control on I never had to touch the brake or gas all the way to my exit. It easily cut down my commute time by a third.
