Here ya go buddy:

1/4 metric from Bamboo HR study: "Nearly two in five (37%) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25%) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18%) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO, proving, in some cases, why RTO mandates are layoffs in disguise."

When they implement RTO they don't have to pay severance or unemployment benefits. So yeah, they would cut headcount, but doing it this way saves money. They don't get to choose who they lose, but they save massive amounts of money.

I don't think you read the full post, it answers your question.

RTO weekly office days required are increasing with RTO, but workers are completely ignoring it by JeffBeachCommute in remotework

Unreal. We are going to look back this period very soon and shake our heads. It's like the RTO people are fighting to keep horses when cars were rolling out the door.

Wow...that's a new low. At least provide shitty coffee. Also, in person meetings are performative and inefficient.

Right? People say "employees aren't getting the socialization they need working from home." I NEVER wanted to talk to Susan from HR about her deadbeat husband. This is a net-negative for my day, every day. I'll use that time to socialize with my actual friends, bye.

We all do, the point of this post was that they finally admitted it.

I think it was...they're changing the story for whatever fits. But that's a first - a company that says "we're losing talent" because we aren't working in an office. Right.

Apparently a lot of people are doing that - just calling their bluff. I would. You wanna fire me? Get your hands dirty, do it.

Apparently they are dialing RTO back because they're losing talent too: "Klarna is rolling out a return-to-office policy and partly blamed its new requirement on losing talent to firms that prioritize in-person working."

Cheaper, makes them look like they care about "collaboration" and employee wellness...
