"Don't mess with us and our nepo baby middle managers, we have to keep them busy somehow and that somehow is micromanaging you all into the ground" -this guy, probably, if they were more honest

RTO policy is driven by rich people's solidarity with one another.
We can beat them with even a fraction of the same solidarity. Fuck RTO, and fuck any job that demands it.
One additional detail, many corporations lease buildings. The buildings are often owned by executives from this same company.
Microsoft’s buildings (pre-pandemic there 130+ just in the Redmond/Seattle area) are all over, and many of them were owned by Paul Allen (co-founder of Msft), and now his family.
It always goes back to landlords sooner or later.
Can you name any business that's been successful at scale without managers?
Valve.
Are there really no managers at Valve? Genuinely curious
Yes. Valve is a flat structure company. There are positives and negatives to this.
Look at valves wiki page for their specific structure and more information.
Wow. Til!
Managers can be fine, but middle managers are generally worthless IME. Not much value added by having someone manage the people that actually manage the people for a C level, too much abstraction just drives crushing corporate culture.
