After 20 years of working for this company, helping clients and helping coworkers, please let me go. Loyalty and hard work mean nothing to this company. If you are interviewing for this company, please walk away. Enjoy your lives! Tomorrow’s a new day!

Depends entirely on the person, but I LOVE my job, other than RTO. Entirely happy with the pay too. Honestly, even if I never got another raise again I'd stay here until retirement. But RTO? F every piece of S that came up with that nonsense right in the Fin face. Their BS won't work, I'm not leaving without being paid severance and the more they push the RTO BS, the more ill resist and support others that will do the same. That policy will do much more harm than it could ever hope to help.
In the end, it won't really matter I suppose. All the admin buildings will close eventually. Waste of money. This forcing everyone back to the office thing? Yeah, it's not the long term plan. Outsource/automate/contract is the actual long term plan, and there won't be hardly any US workers for long and therefore no need for buildings for them. Too much risk, too much money. They will all go.
I generally like my job and my pay is fine. I liked the company up until Charlie.
I despise RTO. Like full on despise the stupidity of it. (Yes I know it's meant to make us quit vs the collaboration they preach - but that doesn't make me hate it any less.) I was WFH for years before COVID. My frustration is higher on days I'm trapped in the office and my attitude is worse. Plus being tired from having to get up earlier to commute doesn't make me more pleasant. So for me not having to RTO would change my attitude and my answers to the questions you listed. I definitely wouldn't feel sold out by HR.

Nah. I generally like my job, even though the powers above often make it difficult. I like my compensation. I do dislike what this company has become.
I am not alone I’m feeling this way.
RTO is a distraction that doesn't address the meat of the matter. At the core of any position when choosing to work for someone else is considering these questions:
- Do I have respect for the company and its mission?
- Am I interested in the type of work the company is asking me to do?
- Does HR/mgmt support a healthly work culture where I can thrive?
- Am I being fairly compensated?
Chances are the anti-RTO people dislike their jobs, the company and probably compensation too. Can't fault someone for not wanting to go into the office considering this. At the end of the day, even if RTO was canceled it wouldn't change that person's answers to the questions above in a positive light. A frustrated worker will carry their frustations no matter the physical location. WFM ends up being one of those generic band-aids that ever sticks on securely enough to solve the main problem.
We really need to be honest about the root motivations for hyperfocusing/complaining on one aspect that sits at the periphery of our jobs here.
leave then
Tell it to Shart. He's the one destroying the company and the one that needs to leave.
leave already
The only truth I've learned at WF in a quarter century of working here: better reviews, raises, and bonuses for doing less work than more.
None of this BS coming from HY is about work or production at all. They don't give an S. To HY, RTO is simply a tool to motivate people to quit.
I have been on the stagecoach for over 10 years and I have no plans of leaving. Relax, don't get discouraged. It isn't half as bad as you may see it.
Agreed! The pay stinks, being micromanaged, RTO, the list goes on.
