Same here, this exact conversation happened.
In every meeting where feedback is requested since then, there is a permanent note that says “please no questions about RTO”.
Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week

My DM’s work did this. Not enough desks, no good plan, and a demand that every needs to be in the office on the Friday before a long weekend(or Thursday, if it’s the Friday that’s the holiday).

I’m hearing more of the “3 days a week but Mon and Fri don’t count”. You can’t make this shit up

Like three days work from home? They’ll claim that people are using Monday and Friday to make long weekends for themselves.
I still have the stupid words of an old manager, in reference to the start of covid when a department of two started working from home: “How will I know they’re getting work done?”
How will you know? I dunno, because there are deadlines and the work is submitted electronically so you’ll be able to tell in the exact same way you always have? And if they’re doing what’s expected and even have extra time leftover then good for them!

You’re right, I wasn’t clear but no - 3 days working from the office minimum but then they stipulate it can’t be a Friday!

“Vibe Executing” is apparently how alot of CEO’s do their jobs. They didn’t know how to gauge productivity before the pandemic and they still don’t. They just pull whatever sounds good out of their asses at any given moment.
