Recently found myself in a position where I'm facing a 2-3 day RTO. Definitely wary of a situation where they're forcing us back to 5 days.

Feels like it's becoming more and more common for companies to force a return to office. I've seen everything from an initial 2-3 day hybrid situation to 5 days a week, even for those who've been remote for so long. Would love to hear about others' experience.

Fortunately my company went virtual first pretty early in the pandemic. They must’ve seen something in their data that pointed to it being beneficial because they were pretty clear that it’s permanent.

We still have a central office with open desks that people can reserve but they’ve never pushed it on anyone.

I have been required 2x/week since July 2021. My wife is going to be required 1x/week starting late summer or early fall, then 2x/week sometime next year, and possibly 3x/week down the road depending on what position she has within her company.

I started a job last July, doing 3 days WFH per week. In February this year we got full mandatory RTO. 😔

Oof... My condolences. How have you and your team been handling that? Begrudgingly putting up with it, or is there any chatter of finding a new gig?

I think they're ok with it, they weren't too keen on it at first, but they apparently prefer it now.
This is a billion-dollar company, traded on the NYSE as well, but they obviously can't afford to make our lives better (salary increases were a joke as well, while we're at it).
I've tried applying for other jobs but have had no luck so far.
