Exactly. We told our people in late 2020, come back to the office or find another job. Guess what, they all came back.

They're not "your" people. You're only renting some of their time... unless you're running a cult, of course.

There is no "back to the office" for people who never worked in the office. We've hired from several states away. The outsiders are significantly more capable than the locals. If you were able to recall everyone back to the office, it means your company is less capable than your competitors who expanded their talent pool.

The companies I deal with that tried to force people back to the office got hit with two waves; one was the massive wave of workers that retired, leaving holes all over the place. Here we are a few years later and the holes are still opening wider than can be filled.

The other wave was that of people who realized just how productive they had become with all the right tools instead of dealing with the museum type of office.

Bad bosses never figured out how to measure folks who were not in the office.

Then they ordered everyone to return to the office.

Most employees worth anything bailed at that point—there are plenty of work at home opportunities out there.
