this RTO mandates are getting old. Do people, in general, believe that we can revert to whatever we were doing before the pandemic started?
Why not?

I mean unless proven otherwise most companies do believe that. What happened to that Vote with your feet / vote with your wallet thing?
Until management can prove being in office drives productivity and all that energy was not merely fueled by lots of people around each other being just as useless, it’s a bias to maintain power and privilege
The economic philosophy of our society is no more a sacrosanct truth than religion
Office life is a social prison that enables their expropriation of agency and outputs
Remote work definitely comes down to a company culture issue. For most engineering jobs I would say flexibility is a massive competitive advantage. There are so many great engineers out there who prefer not to be in the office it's a great talent pool, but needs to be actively managed in order to get the best out of it. Having said that, Amazon comes across as exactly the company that would require you to be in the o…

Constructive dismissal is still a layoff.
I'm all for remote work in tech, but I also think it might be difficult to convince a court that "please come to work" is creating a hostile work environment.

Really, it had nothing to do with people ordering even more online for home delivery than prior to the pandemic? You don't think that folks might continue ordering more home delivery if they aren't out driving every day?

However, I fully expect that during the pandemic people discovered a lot of things that they could have picked up in the next couple of days in "only" 25 minutes or so can actually be ordered from Amazon at competitive prices. I ordered from Amazon a lot pre-pandemic but added various random stuff instead of going to, say, Home Depot.
Want to talk collaboration and productivity? Let's see if a company bans zoom for office days (but none will)

The complaints are also getting old. If you were hired with the expectation that you go in the office, RTO is an eventual expected outcome. I do see the psychology of taking away what many see as a "benefit", but it's really just going back to the norm.

Stop making your own meals, start consuming from their fast food chain down the block from the building theyre leasing to your company.
Stop for gas and buy from their other investments close by.
Need people to stop being so self sufficient at home, and suck the rich tit.
We are so desperate for the help :( /$
