Not that I've heard.

I feel like there was one toward the end of last year for sure.

If there isn’t, there will be. Remember that RTO exists as a device to force resignations. If they don’t hit a target number of resignations, the next place they’ll go is push managers for bad reviews or PIPs, especially mid-level. This is so they can cut ties with minimal cost.

Then after that they’ll do mass layoffs.

Then rinse and repeat. The next phase to be where RTO was in the previous cycle is to make benefits worse to get more people to jump.

Confirming they went straight to HR and fired. No PIP

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
