Overall, the analysis, released as a pre-print, found that RTO mandates did not improve a firm’s financial metrics, but they did decrease employee satisfaction.

Drilling down, the data indicated that RTO mandates were linked to firms with male CEOs who had greater power in the company. Here, power is measured as the CEO’s total compensation divided by the average total compensation paid to the four highest-paid executives in the firm.

This is an interesting metric. And the research outcome makes a lot of sense.

Also, RTO policies are garbage - but I’m stating the obvious.

    Only thing I can think of to explain this shit is that it’s not about us, it’s gotta be about the value of the building you work in

      They owned the building and it was not kept up or in great shape, so I don’t know if that was the issue. I really didn’t understand it at all. They would have been able to be more efficient if we weren’t there not because the office staff would be more efficient but because they could pump out more product, faster.

        Yeah but if nobody works in offices anymore, the value of those properties will drop significantly. Lots if business have big money tied in their properties, they don’t want to lose that money.
