Pros

We had the best year we ever had last year while almost everyone completely remote. Yes, we worked more but it was balanced out by not having to commute and being able to do errands and chores throughout the day.

Cons

Now they’re forcing staff back five times a week, regardless or role or whether that is necessary. Also without regard to people’s workspaces. Junior staff often sits nearly shoulder to shoulder. Meanwhile most attorney offices sit vacant. It seems the same RTO requirement is not conveyed or enforced among attorneys. Also certain favorite departments of the CAO seem to be exempt as well.
