Back to EpisodesReturn-to-Office Mandates Are Back — And Employees Are Pushing Back Hard ⭐
Description
Just when everyone got comfortable working from home…
companies have decided it’s time to bring everyone back.
Because clearly, that’s what employees wanted.
In this episode, we break down the return of return-to-office mandates and the completely predictable reaction from employees: resistance, frustration, and a whole lot of updated LinkedIn profiles.
We get into:
- Why companies are suddenly doubling down on in-office work
- How employees are responding (hint: not enthusiastically)
- The impact on retention, morale, and recruiting
- And whether forcing people back is actually about productivity… or something else entirely
If your company has recently announced a “we’re all coming back together” plan, this episode might explain why that Slack channel got real quiet afterward.
Or why half your team is suddenly “exploring new opportunities.”
