I joined my current company at the height of the pandemic. So did at least hundreds of other people, many of which joined as their first job. I am a top performer at the company, and I also can't tell how other people who joined around the same time and worked fully remote the first two years would have been any better in their career had the pandemic not happened. I don't see any young employee's career killed. This is all just empty talk.

I graduated in 2020 and absolutely feel that my learning and career have suffered immensely. This is a very common thought amongst people in my cohort.

Your observations as a recent graduate match my observations. RTO (specifically, hybrid, but that depends on the position) made a huge difference in learning and career development for younger employees at my company.

I do think it's quite hilarious that all of the older employees are claiming that their younger counterparts are doing just fine now that RTO is happening but just months ago were claiming that these newer hires were lazy or incompetent when WFH was at its zenith.
