The benefits of RTO
Enforcing RTO (Return To Office) will lead to your best employees leaving the company. They can and will find other jobs. Others will obediently return to the office but will now be unhappy with their work.
RTO is a subtle way to force hidden layoffs in a company if the goal is to cut staff and reduce the budget, but it is the worst possible method.
There is, however, one benefit to RTO. When you announce it, employees get a clear message that the company is run by idiots. Undoubtedly, this is valuable information.
I have encountered such ideas before, and people tried to convince me that the goal was integration, ミ☆⋆₊⊹ CreatinG a TeaM ⊹₊⋆☆彡, and fostering a positive atmosphere. If you don't understand that many (though not all) employees simply DO NOT WANT to work in an office and you force them to do something against their will, then you are a fool.
I've been working remotely for at least 12 years. I'd sooner retrain for a different profession than waste time and energy commuting to office.
