RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: Study::Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.

If I was still working for The Man there's no way I'd RTO. Nothing enkindles my rage faster than the idiots saying "COVID is over" when it's more infectious than ever. Well, nothing except the ones who say COVID won't kill you (I've got over a million reasons to show how that's bullshit). There isn't an office in the world that isn't a de facto COVID infection party. ESPECIALLY the ones where you sit elbow to elbow. Frak that, I'm not going to die to make a living.

More than 3 million in 2020 alone. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were closer to 14-15 million worldwide at this point.
And the worst part is most of those deaths were totally, tragically preventable. "Muh economy" lol you can't produce shit with dead workers...
Covid is over in the same way the flu was over in 1923, its still there, it'll still kill people every winter but its endemic and there's no getting rid of it and no point upending all society with all the other problems that causes in order to try and bring it down a few percent.
It's endemic because people had exactly that attitude. China for instance had COVID totally under control until they adopted that "no point upending blah blah" mentality. China and India locked down hard and even COMBINED they didn't hit the death rate America had.
Of course I'm sure Facebook Conspiracy Theory Center has the big top secret scoop on how China and India had tons of invisible people dying of COVID until they opened up, lol.
China opened up because despite the intense government control and suppression they started having spontaneous demonstrations verging on riots against the restrictions which spooked the government.
And look what that got them. A bunch of Chinese citizens who never got another chance to participate in anything because they're dead. SMDH at a government responsible for Tiananmen Square. They got balls when it's time to be evil but not when thousands or millions of lives are at stake.
