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.

I started a job last July, doing 3 days WFH per week. In February this year we got full mandatory RTO. ๐Ÿ˜”

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.
