Return-to-office mandates apply to everyone, except a chosen few

Many employees are frustrated about why some of their colleagues don’t have to comply with RTO mandates. “It’s a little bit more selective, more quote-unquote perky," said Ron Porter, a senior partner at organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry, which referred to the phenomenon as the “new hybrid hierarchy" in a recent report. He and colleagues who didn’t exceed the quota went into the company’s office every day and “were routinely treated like children and micromanaged," he said. After AT&T began implementing mandated in-office days for management employees in 2023, Chris Pelesky, a former lead channel manager at the company, said he found the policy inconsistent, with “many cases of favoritism." Today, one in 10 working professionals in the U.S. who want to change jobs cited a desire for hybrid or remote work that their current company doesn’t allow, according to a new LinkedIn survey.
