    It’s an excuse to union bust.

    It seems like the playbook for any company that wants to downsize now is to mandate RTO. That way, they can justify firing people with cause.

    In the past, they had to move their operations to Bumfuck, Nowhere and request that employees move, so that those who don’t move can be fired easily. RTO mandates are a godsend for such companies now. Cause to fire without cost!
