What makes these employees different from the rest of the company? The rest of us are being required to go to the office 3+ days per week, wasting time commuting. All for nothing to just join a Teams call with remote employees who are not in the office.
I see a lot of VPs and SVPs have an exception and who are on the "FTE Remote" list. Get rid of them too.
If RTO is the mandate, then apply to all.
