Looking at the job market recently for software engineers, there isn't alot of high paying remote jobs right now. A lot of companies have "hybrid" requirements.

He’s right, it is a different world now. However, many of these RTO companies purchased real estate (read: office space) based on the old paradigm. It’s no secret that commercial real estate is in bad shape. RTO helps to prop that up - ‘cause the alternative might be ugly circa 2007 / 2008.

The difference is leverage, I don't think it would be as bad as 2007/2008. One way or another they're going to be written down because many companies are having a hard time getting everyone back in the office.

Enough people will RTO.

I’m lucky to be remote , but this isn’t going to last.
