I cannot express how pleased I am that the company I work for went all-in on remote work during the pandemic and allowed the lease to lapse on most of their office space while sub-letting the rest. RTO is a literal impossibility for us now. We simply don't all fit in the remaining office space we have, and assuming new leases on more office space obviously looks terrible on quarterly reports.

There are many other ways that the company I work for is miserable, but I take the small victories where I can.

What's crazy is, so did mine.

Sold multiple office buildings.

Told us all, WFH is here to stay!

And then they blindsided us with a RTO mandate. And we do not all fit in the buildings. There isn't enough room by some thousand people and they don't seem to care.

The part that's even more insulting is that half my team live so far away (several US states away) they are exempt. So now half of us are forces to commute into a crowded building TO JOIN A TEAMS CALL! Ahhhhhh!
