I know of a certain large company I will not name that is sending people back to office while also having a huge percentage of staff augmentation consultants living outside of the US. So you can find teams that have two people in the office, working side by side with another 10 people in the team that are remote, and interacting with teams that might be a 7, 8 timezones away.

You can imagine how well those people feel about RTO, and how it helps their collaboration.



They are going lose everyone soon as hiring picks up. Short sighted.


Not short sighted if _that_ is the goal. Maybe it's just to cut off people they have overhired during the pandemic. Maybe they just need fresh faces without costly layoffs


I have a hard time believing this a 5th year correction of a past hiring bubble.


Are they though?

Do you see any legitimate opposition to the big tech companies forming from recently laid off employees?

If there's no alternative for people to work for then if the job market improves people are just going to go back to the same companies.

So, are these people who feel spurned by the big tech companies getting together and starting competitors to bring them down?


Lol you can't outcompete microsoft or google.


Sounds like Dell?


Sounds like my company. Sounds like Dell. Sounds like too many companies to guess which one OP is talking about.
