Working from home not going anywhere as in-office mandates fall
www.abc.net.au
"Return to office" demands appear to have peaked, with research noting a fall in mandates for a certain amount of in-person days. Five years from the start of the COVID pandemic, remote and hybrid models of working are now normalised.

“Return to office” demands may have peaked, with employers accepting remote, work-from-home and hybrid working, research from the Australian HR Institute has found.

A survey of human resources professionals shows employers’ demands for full-time staff to be in the office between three to five days are falling.

What’s next?

More than 80 per cent of survey respondents expect that hybrid working levels will increase or stay the same in the coming two years.

    My employer tried to start an RTO program, likely as pressure from the owners.

    My savvy manager had already deduced that existing checks were compiled on a monthly database query, so that’s what I was doing; I also managed to skirt other checks by not claiming a permanent desk at my local office, which, as I predicted, kept me off of a separate query’s shit list. I also compiled a point-for-point rebuttal to their bulleted reasons for implementing RTO as it would affect me and my work, and held on to that just in case.

    They gave up the push not long after, and just ensure that butts are in seats when the owners visit so we all “look busy.”
