Genuine "top talent" is the people that care about the company; they aren't leaving.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They wanted to go back to working in an office setting?
They were not ordered to go back to the office? They were ordered not to go back to the office?
(It really is puzzling what exactly was intended by “opposite”)
> These shifts appear to be driven by employees leaving to larger firms that are direct competitors.

Does it matter if said top talent was just watching YT all day at home Their heyday was 2016-2019
There is no evidence that remote workers are all just sitting around doing nothing.
And if they were then the problem is clearly with their managers who are unable to provide clear goals and monitor their status.
I am at my current job due to my previous one demanding RTO. As soon as they started taking attendance in the office, I walked out. I know a number of others who did the same, at a number of companies.
Then the layoffs started and this paused as people were scared. Now that hiring is picking up again and many feel that the worst is behind us, multiple people from former workplaces that are in full-on RTO mode have already reached out asking how things are at my current workplace and whether we are hiring for remote roles (we are).

One may care about the company until the company shows it doesn't care about you.
If an employee is loyal to a company that isn't loyal back then I question that employee's intelligence.
I'm not seeing this at my workplace. People are doing what they are told, and they are returning to the office. Maybe because losing a job is risky right now, given the current job market. edit: don't get me wrong, I don't want RTO. I'm just saying that I'm personally not seeing people quit over it.
I wonder how many of those are actively looking for jobs.

I’m kind of curious why people are under the impression that people don’t do this in the office too. I’ve known people to do full time online masters degrees during office hours. I’ve played a heck of a lot of video games in office. Certainly read a lot of books at the office. Offices are not some magical “go find work” hypnotic environments.
If anything, in an office there's always an excuse not to work. And if you accidentally enter the zone and get something done, soon you are interrupted by inanities.

If you didn't leave when ordered back to the office, you're not top tech talent.
