Rto does a great job of scaring off talent that has options.

You get to keep all the losers who can't get a better job. You also get to waste a ton of money on rent and office space.

My company went rto. Then they closed a downtown office and forced everyone out to their exurban campus an hour from the city.

Anyone with an ounce of talent left. My remaining team is mostly duds. I need to gtfo, but the money is good--which means they are paying (me at least) a high premium.

Rto is fucking moronic.
