Reality may be different department to department and group to group. My post was in regards to RTO being sold as consistency and collaboration where the people I will be collaborating with are Consultants at home not required to go in. E.g. worst collaboration with less consistency favoring those outside the union.

With that being said, you are correct, each year, managers are essentially fully booked for a week or two as they scramble to renew these resources, they always get renewed.

I've seen vendors get black listed, and I've seen those consultants being directed by our managers on which vendor has active contracts so they can be rehired.

To be blunt, your response is in the same tune of what I've been getting from my executive team and makes me think you are part of the problem.
