How many of you have had a mandatory return to office (RTO) ? (self.jobs)

Recently found myself in a position where I'm facing a 2-3 day RTO. Definitely wary of a situation where they're forcing us back to 5 days.

Feels like it's becoming more and more common for companies to force a return to office. I've seen everything from an initial 2-3 day hybrid situation to 5 days a week, even for those who've been remote for so long. Would love to hear about others' experience.

I have been required 2x/week since July 2021. My wife is going to be required 1x/week starting late summer or early fall, then 2x/week sometime next year, and possibly 3x/week down the road depending on what position she has within her company.

Oh dang, since 2021? I've been fortunate enough to be remote since 2020 but that all changed this year with my new position.

Hopefully it's not too bad of a commute for y'all. Going from no commute to 40-50 mins each way for me has been an adjustment to say the least.

It hasn't been awful. The nice thing about having a commute again is that it gives me some alone time where I can be alone with my thoughts or listen to whatever i want to without bothering anyone.

That's good! I feel ya on that - it's been kinda liberating to find myself jamming out or doing some singing to keep my mind sane.
