RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: Study::Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.

If I had a job where I could work from home I think I’d rather be in the office most of the time but I would appreciate the flexibility. I just really hate zoom meetings. I find most in person meetings can be done a little more spur of the moment and you are in and out in 5-15 minutes where the scheduled zoom meetings are an hour of some upper manager droning on in an attempt to justify their existence.
I’m much happier that 99% of the time I’m physically working on machines and not in face to face or zoom meetings but that’s just been my experience.
Yeah but when you’re trying to get some work done, do you like having people interrupting you for 5-15 minutes?
There are days when I go into the office and the bosses aren’t there. On those days I think “good, I can actually get some work done today.”
I suppose it depends on the kind of work you do, but for many kinds of work, any kind of meeting represents a loss in productivity. Impromptu meetings, even if shorter, can be worse because it interrupts what I’m doing.
