Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says - eviltoast

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.

      It’s almost as if upper management doesn’t actually give a shit about productivity and workers work better where they feel most comfortable.

      employees spend an equal amount of time working (76% of a 9-to-5 shift).

      that seems high. 6 hrs of pure work every day isn’t even sustainable
