With WFH the following things become very difficult and/or ineffective:

1. Onboarding and growing junior employees.

2. Managing/coordinating people

3. Doing/coming up with something innovative

4. Making sure an employee is not working another job in parallel

With RTO, companies try go get back the ability to do these things, at the expense of employees’ commute time

Thanks for sticking the head out ;)

I'm really not sure where 1 to 3 come from? 1 and 2 are about spending time with people. 3 can't also be true, just look at all the innovations that OSS has created (at least 90 perc. remote collaboration).

Number 4 is a real problem and a symptom of the biggest problem imo, which is that it's hard to build trust online/remotely.
