About this listen
Hybrid is dead, and Corporate America is shoving people back into cubicles whether they like it or not. This episode tears into the new wave of hardline return‑to‑office mandates, the power games behind them, and what this means for talent, cities, and company culture.
- RTO isn’t about culture; it’s about execs who don’t know how to manage people they can’t see and leases they can’t get out of.
- Workers have largely complied, on paper, while mentally checking out, and engagement is tanking as mandates ramp up.
- RTO has quietly become a layoff tool: force attrition, skip severance, and blame “team cohesion.”
- The federal government’s own hardline in‑person push gives every private‑sector CEO cover to crack down.
If you’re getting dragged back to a badge reader and a beige cubicle, this episode says the quiet part out loud.
