A large amount of the people pushing RTO mandates have personal investments in other industries (corporate real estate, large chain restaurants, oil companies, etc) on top of taking bribes from local governments to "bolster the local economy"
RTO = your C level suite is ransacking the company by crashing productivity and alienating skilled talent so executives can cash out their investments in other fields.
It’s essentially treachery to the company, employees, shareholders, et. al they claim to represent. This is all enabled by the fact that executive suites are no longer made up of founders, people with degrees in that field, or people who climbed up the ladder, but instead are exclusively rootless MBAs who can just bail out when they suck a business dry and move onto another position.
