Wow, the RTO 3-day policy is turning out to be a logistical nightmare. The traffic heading into the office is the worst I've ever seen, with delays of up to 30 minutes. And parking? It's a complete mess—Sage really didn't think this through. If next week is anything like this one, I'll be turning around or finding the nearest café to work from.
Overall, it's been a total waste of time, impacting my work/productivity and general well-being since I've had to work late at home to catch up. There's been no magical "collaboration" or quality "in-person" time. Everyone I've spoken to is annoyed, so it's safe to say morale is way down. What was once a progressive organization is now regressing rapidly. We'll lose fantastic colleagues to forward-thinking organizations that embrace the technological age and trust their employees as adults to manage their own time and choose where they thrive best. We're back in the dinosaur age.
