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 started a job last July, doing 3 days WFH per week. In February this year we got full mandatory RTO. 😔

Oof... My condolences. How have you and your team been handling that? Begrudgingly putting up with it, or is there any chatter of finding a new gig?

I think they're ok with it, they weren't too keen on it at first, but they apparently prefer it now.
This is a billion-dollar company, traded on the NYSE as well, but they obviously can't afford to make our lives better (salary increases were a joke as well, while we're at it).
I've tried applying for other jobs but have had no luck so far.

Ah, being with a huge company will definitely make it a lot harder to feel disgruntled I bet. Dang, best of luck with your search.
