This is the efficiency and professionalism of corporate America. Lack of trust in employees is one of the driving forces behind the RTO mandate. Even if employees are more productive at home they must return to the office.
Came here to say this. The notion that bringing corporate-world bullshit to our government would be a good thing is one of the worst ideas floating around in our culture. I’m sure if corporations would be allowed, they’d introduce mumbo-jumbo like lie detectors to keep employees even further subjected to their will [1].
Corporations are top-down private tyrannies guided only by profit motive.
A democratic government should be operated VERY differently from the corporate world.
[1] Hell, they already employ complete nonsense like “personality tests” - there is not one iota of evidence to back up any of that. I’m honestly not sure which is stupider - getting your enneagram equivalent (regardless of the brand du jour ) at work, or lie detectors for loyalty.

That stuff isn’t nonsense, it’s worse: it’s a cover for discrimination against protected classes. “I didn’t reject that candidate because he was black; I rejected him because he… uh… failed this personality test I gave him. Yeah, that’s it. No racist discrimination here!”
What’s dumb is that things like Enneagram/Myers-Brigg/DISC and other such woo purport to be “only about people learning about others’ styles” and so on, LOL.
I’ve seen people put their Myers-Briggs letters on LinkedIn and on their resume. FFS.
No, business real estate market is the reason for RTO. It would be much easier to spy on employees with monitored teleconferencing/spyware tools than trying to stare over people’s shoulders.

I said one of the reasons. I didn’t say the only reason.
With RTO you can have both.
