I know Microsoft announced a new RTO policy. Are they making all workers abide by return to office 4 days a week? Or is it just for some sectors/roles? WTF!

Because in those “few short years” people have moved away from office spaces, often to be closer to family to save money given housing and childcare among many other things has gotten MUCH more expensive in those years.

Employees still have a choice and can vote with their feet/go somewhere else if they disagree with the policy.

I dont understand why everyone is so emotional about RTO. It was just a few short years ago that the vast majority of employees commuted to, and worked in, their oddice 5 days per week.

I know its been said before but some people still fail to realize that if their job can be performed 100% remotely then there is nothing preventing their employer from sending that work to lower cost resources offshore/near-shore.

Is 3 days in general, may vary per org and exceptions (someone living >50 miles away) are possible.
I love WFH and I'm happy, our system calculates an average using the 8 weeks with the highest attendance out of the past 12 weeks , meaning you can really spend a month WFH if you want, making sure you have been to the office (no matter how long you stay) at least 3 days per week the 8 weeks before.

Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
