A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

For people who DON'T need to be in office, forced RTO is stupid because it wastes commute time.

For people who DO need to be in office, forced RTO for others is stupid because it creates more peak hour traffic and lunch rushes, making their own commute/lunch suck more.

For urban planning, forced RTO is stupid because again it increases road usage and creates unnecessary clumps of high-density areas, causing inconsistent use of urban infrastructure.

For landlords, forced RTO makes sense because it props up inflated real estate prices.

Guess what's happening now?
