Only success I've seen being part of a RTO mandate is that everyone's pissed at management and looking to get out. Which is to say it was a success in not paying severance.

Yup; success is relative.
It's somehow wonderful how masks-off many modern executives are. They're just outright going "rules are only for you fucking plebs. Now go sit in your cubicles and earn me some money", no more dancing around with the "we're all a big family" bullshit
You guys have cubicles? I thought we’ve done away with that and mandated all offices to be deprived of walls and dividers since the 2010s in favor of open office floor plans? Someone get the office manager on the line.
"Now go find a free work space from the booking system" doesn't quite have the same ring to it
You guys have floors? Our desks are on a net suspended over a gaping chasm
Ffs the open office bullshit.
I just reserve meeting rooms for myself every day.
They do the dance too though. Really weird.
The other "success" in that is that the people who are left, who succumbed to RTO, by definition are going to toe the company line more, and/or have less power to exercise in changing employers, meaning they can be more easily abused.
At the same time, those who stayed were probably not as skilled and thus weren't able to find other employment. So the company's overall quality is going to diminish.
That's a problem for future CEO John Q. Moneybags. Present CEO John Q. Moneybags just improved this quarter's financials, and is already planning his golden-parachute retirement before becoming future Mr. Moneybags.
Very ironic that zoom does this
They could save others from the drudgery of office work, but not themselves.
The fact that the CEO of a company whose primary purpose is facilitating remote work doesn't believe remote work is effective is peak irony.
You might as well scream to the entire world that you think the service you're selling is a worthless sham. But then narcissistic executives tend to have this bizarre blindness to irony.
My jaw hits the floor as the dumbass-in-chief publicly doubles down.
Holy forking shirt balls.
I have so many questions. Specifically:
- Which loved ones of which Zoom board members are locked in this guy's basement?
- When do his short positions on Zoom stock mature?
Are you in the Bad Place?
Even Jason figured out we’re in the bad place
"JASON figured it out? Yeah...this one hurts."
.......Jason? The red ranger???
I assume the success was reducing headcount by people quitting over RTO.
Gets rid of the expensive employees who won't follow the rules and leaves openings for fresh graduates and employees who need the job. It's a win-win for these businesses!
Meanwhile the remote work opportunities are becoming more and more competitive as RTO reduces the pool of available remote jobs. It's hard enough to compete against 300 people applying in the first day (literally in some cases, it's insane!), this only makes it worse.

Ah, you mean gets rid of people with the most skills and knowledge who find it easier to get a new job.
Ya gotta wonder if ceos are paid for their lack of awareness.
ive yet to see a ceo salary that matched the benefit to the company.... as they demand of actual labor positions.

It is a requirement, yes.
The guy that thinks people will send ai clones of themselves to meetings?
That guy?
The guy that thinks a meeting populated only by fake people will be Zooms future? But also isn't investing in any of this tech, just thinks it will "happen"?
How has their stock not gone to zero with this clown in charge?
Dr. Collier made a 50 minute long video explaining how much of a stupid that idea is. That guy is an incompetent clown that fell upwards.
