"Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful #tech companies — #Apple, #Microsoft and #SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent...
“We find experienced #employees impacted by these policies at major #tech companies seek #work elsewhere, taking some of the most valuable human capital investments and tools of #productivity with them,” said... one of the study’s authors.
"“Our findings suggest that #RTO mandates cost the company more than previously thought... These attrition rates aren’t just something that can be managed away.”...
A spike in departures of senior employees... could reflect the “double-pinch” they inflict on managers, who have to deal with the policy’s effects on the teams they lead & in their own lives...
it’s also just a hit to morale...
Maybe managers leave shortly after mandates... “because it’s easier to manage a team that’s happy.”
