Meta updates RTO policy with stricter mandate, saying workers may lose their jobs if they don’t show up 3 days a week::Meta, formerly known as Facebook, told employees that its new RTO policy would be enforced by management.
I show up to my work chatrooms and video calls 5 times a day. My bosses treat me like a professional adult. I get my shit done, fight fires, and communicate to my team and co-workers just fine. My morning routine involves not driving to work, because it’s a goddamn waste of my time.
If you can’t handle remote work, your employees will find places that can. Adapt or die!
Cool, a severance package from Facebook!
My company has a 3-day/week hybrid policy. It’s lame. Since not everyone is there on the same day, I still sit in my cube on teams chat all day. Most of the time I don’t interact with anyone for work related reasons. And as an introvert, I don’t really go out of my way to engage with people otherwise.
Hybrid is really the worst of both worlds, none of the benefits of having everyone in office, none of the benefits of never having to go into the office
It can be improved if you use ‘anchor days’ with your team in the office, otherwise it’s a complete waste of time.
Lets see how that will work out…
Note for non-Americans: “RTO” here means “Return To Office”. (Not Rostered Day Off)
Non-American here: was there a chance that RTO stood for Rostered Day Off?
We don’t really use ‘roster’, and we can spell Day.

The trouble for Meta employees is that there aren’t many jobs out there with similar compensation.
Even though I’m not in FAANG, I’m in a similar situation. Forced to go in every day, but changing companies would mean halving my pay check. So I go in every day.
At first I thought, Jesus! Who will work for such a shitty company and then I realized people will do anything for money. Capahtahleezum baby!!
I mean these guys are generally pulling 300 to 700k a year so… I’d return to office for that easily.
Lol true. If I am the director or any executive, i’ll do a lot more exploitation for less.
I mean being asked to go to an office isn’t exactly exploitation. It is fucked to ask after promising remote and terminating folks when they say no I’m not moving my entire family. But that’s why tech companies are usually younger folks.
Either I’ve been getting royally screwed at the places I’ve worked, or it’s only pretty senior people who are making over 300k.
