People brazenly defy the RTO requests at my company. I suppose management could start turning the screws on people, but I have a feeling enough people are still willing to quit to make that impractical.

Where I work, they mandated RTO three days a week. It was largely ignored. Eventually they started checking badge-in access and strictly enforced the mandate.

There was a lot of grumbling about people quitting, but anecdotally I didn't notice much uptick in turnover at all. It's very hard to tell what will really make people quit. If the labor market hadn't softened a bit I'm sure we'd have seen more, but my guess is the disgruntled people weren't able to get full WFH without a salary decrease larger than they wanted to tolerate.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Curious what you have in mind, how so?

"That sounds important! As you can see, I have three tickets in flight already. Can you open another one up, and $MANAGER and I can prioritize the work that you need done?"

They're already working on the ticket? (assigned to them) This is about people stopping by for help on their assigned work, and at the end of the day I get no credit for the contributions to their work or leeway on my own.
