“With more people in the office, we are in a better position to use our own technologies”??? What? Do they actually know what their product is?

Classic corporate doublespeak, IMO.
"This is bad, but bad is good."
To be replaced by commute fatigue
That's a good way to lose all your top talent.
Don't let it fool you, they'll make exceptions to the rule for the ones they want to keep. This is just a way to make their "worst" performers miserable so they quit instead of laying them off. All the ~~shit~~ tech companies are doing it.
This really depends. You would think that a company would know who it's top performers are, but if you are engineer who is more than two managers away from C suite, chances are the person who decides to end your job doesn't know or give a shit who you are, they just know that your salary is among the higher end. If a company wants to attract top talent they can always do so later
As a datapoint from the other side, my company (big tech) is holding the party line no matter what. Lower level engineer or director - if you don't come in the requisite number of days a week, you're out. It's a bafflingly short-sighted move, but company culture is more important than anything apparently.
You don’t have to waste people’s time and burn gas in traffic to foster a meaningful company culture. This is just about management egos needing to feel important, and always has been.
The same BS my last employer was droning on and on about when he forced us all back because “collaboration”!
He spoke about “zoom fatigue”, which isn’t a real thing btw but that’s another matter entirely, and how being in the same building was better for us as a team.
The amount of collaboration it spark was exactly how many fucks I give about Zoom.
Zoom leadership and executives do not trust their own product.
Just before the new covid wave nobody is vaccinated against. Nice.
Is this news I've missed?
EG.5, variant of omicron
They're just all going to be in the office and attending zoom meetings.
