Good for them. RTO is almost universally bullshit.
Ubisoft reportedly said the return to office mandate was for “team creativity” and “better communication”, but the unions argue that “management has consistently failed to present any actual tangible benefits to back this measure.”
Because they have none to present. Multiple levels of bad management trying to justify their existence.
It’s not middle management, it’s the CEOs. They bought a building and need to justify it, or it is worthless. Unused buildings fall apart. Can’t rent it out, because nobody would do that. Can’t convert to housing, since the plumbing and electrical are setup for an office building, not for a bunch of flats. Redoing that would cost a metric fuckton and never bring any profit.
It’s all layers of management from the C-suite down. There’s plenty of bad middle management who can’t quantify their subordinates’ output beyond “well, they all appear to be at their desks and working as I pass by on my way to the next pointless meeting.”
