I have a video recording of the ceo in a company wide meeting saying he will not enforce rto as that ship already sailed and wr will stay remote. Then 2 months later, enforces rto in email selectively to people that are within 25 miles of an office. I then asked him and gave him the video asking him about why he lied and have a screenshot of his dumbass resppnse about things shifting and blah blah. Took him 10 minutes to write his 6 sentence long paragraph. God what a twat.
- My company did the same thing. We called the president out on it too with the same result. After a year, they went back to remote work. You and your coworkers should keep bringing it up.
  
  Well since i didnt go in every single day after the rto i was let go due to company "restructuring" fuck em. I should post the video and screenshot now that i have a new job elsewhere.
  
  I’m sorry that happened to you. I hope you found a job where you can be happy!
  
  Thank you! After 3 months of almost being homeless finally landed a job. But now barely scraping by.
- Wow, that's insanely unfair (25 miles), never heard of that. Either there is value that everyone is in, or not.
  Im waiting on my Co to pull this trigger too, jokes on them I'll just pop in for breakfast and then leave again
  
  Yeah i wanted to do that too but to drive the 21 miles to work, one way, is 35-45 minutes with "normal" traffic and leaving at slow traffic times. So literally wasting 1 to 1.5 hours driving for chilling in office for a few minutes seems ridiculous. So if i drove in i would stay at least 2-3 hours.
  
  My company’s policy is 90 miles. I know people who have to drive 1.5 hours to work each way.
- How's the company doing financially right now? I suspect that all of these RTO mandates are just thinly veiled layoffs.
  
  Idk. Planet DDS
