Many are balking about RTO, but this is actually a valid point -- that women (who may or may not be moms) are among those who will be impacted most. Sure, many of us worked in the office 5 days a week before the pandemic, but things feel different now. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Mom of 3 and had to quit due to RTO policies. Thankfully, I found something I love! But very rough road to get here.

One of the reasons many companies are implementing RTO policies is the pressure from small businesses and municipalities in local business districts.

Most of the larger businesses received a tax incentive to locate their offices in certain business districts. Many small businesses rely on the foot traffic from those areas and/or offer other business support services that they can't provide if people are working from home. So they pushed the municipalities to claw back the incentives if the companies are not going to have offices or otherwise be in the business districts. The cities and municipalities would lose a huge tax base and revenue source. 😕

Some of the women in my office were concerned about RTO mandates as well. Fortunately, we have nothing to worry about since most of us are doing well with a hybrid arrangement. I think it should be an option for everyone.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
