Return to the office is bad for productivity and recruiting, but it's not about productivity or recruiting.
Employee willingness to waste time on a commute and to handicap their own productivity with open-plan office work are costly signals of loyalty—which, at companies that are doing crimes, is more important than the actual work. The more that a company has pivoted from value creation to value extraction, the more RTO they're doing
