Just go to work. Like you did before Covid.
I have been mostly work from home since 2006, this is not a since COVID thing for me. I started a new job in 2023 and they told me it was 6 days a month at the office. So if that drastically changes then it would be very different for me from before COVID
100% out of there. The market is too hot in my industry to put up with RTO. Why change what has proven to work for nearly 5 years everywhere I have been. I’d rather go back to fully remote if I could.

Yes 100%. I moved to a location that does not make coming into the office on a regular basis possible, and I'm not moving back. So its either full-time remote (with the occasional trip if desired and they want to pay for it), or they can find someone else.
Did you just say that if they need you in the office, they have to pay you? WTF!!!? How did people get to be so entitled? “I moved further away and I ain’t coming back”. I hope you didn’t move too far from the unemployment office.
My company did just that in the last quarter of this year. It never even occurred to me as being an issue though. I have to be on site in order to do a decent chunk of my job.

Yeah for jobs that need to be in person it is likely easier. For those like SaaS, probably harder.
100 percent I would start looking. Might take a minute to find another WFH or Hybrid but I won't accept 100% in the office. I have been mostly WFH since 2006 why change now.
Yes. Working from home is worth the lower salary to me. If I'm required to go back in, then I'm required to ask for a pay increase. If none is offered, time to go where the money is.
Yes please I can switch another job .
My job requires me to be in office every day anyhow so, would not negatively. My experience is that when WFH began, efficiency dropped dramatically. Can never get in touch with anybody, many never return emails or available on Teams. Also, lower paying jobs tend to require in-person work such as cleaning, food service, sales, stock room etc. So, they actually have to invest more time (travel) and money (fuel) to earn (a lot) less than the admin and white collar roles.
No change for me, I go into the office daily so it won’t impact me.

No. I'm already required to be in the office every day.
All this wining. For those who were Forced out of work due to poor management decisions at least you have a Salary. Most here have either put up with some BS from upper crust. Weather you want to part time it or full time it, just go in Even if you don’t need to physically do it for performance. Be thankful you’re not in the unemployment line scraping up the 300/wk that hasn’t changed since 1989. I have a receipt from that year for unemployment and it’s the same GD amount as today, while inflation has gone up 600% Since then.
Who's wining? I want to win.

I wouldn't give up my current salary/benefits/PTO over a return to office. So long as they're flexible with the occasional work from home day to make appointments easier to manage.
Yes, no doubt. In my home I've built an environment I can work comfortably and effectively without the stigma of requesting accomodations that might not even be properly met.
Also, most of our competitors are also fully remote, so it'd be silly for me to move to another city to work for my current company when I could just move companies and continue doing the same job from my home office for different people
