@arstechnica @jerry “Others still noted that it seemed pointless to go in to an in-person office when the teams they worked on were already distributed across multiple offices around the world, so they'd mostly still be on Zoom calls anyway.”

@nuthatch @arstechnica this is why I rejected RTO - they want me to pick up and move to a different state so that I can work out of an office that won’t have enough space for me full time to manage the team I lead, which is almost exclusively overseas. No thanks 🚮
