    When the only people who commuted were those that were required to be physically present for their work or those that wanted to be in the office traffic was massively reduced and commute times shortened if the reduction meant being able to go the speed limit.

      Yeah, but McDonald’s and Shell weren’t making enough so they made the bosses tell us to work from the office.

        That’s really what this is all about. My company is not even pretending that RTO has anything to do with productivity or culture. They’re not even providing any reasoning. Hell, all my bosses are in different time zones and I have no peers in the office.

        It’s because the big money has invested in expensive city real estate and if we all buy a house in Montana then it kills their milking model. I mean business model

          Same situation here. They made some vague comment about “making connections” in the office but half the people on my team are remote, including managers. It’s all bullshit.
