I'd love to see data on RTO mandates vs real estate lease/own status.

For companies that own, Low occupancy = asset write downs = higher cost of capital.

Control for overhiring during the pandemic. Almost every RTO whiplash I've seen is a shadow restructuring.

I think you're right, but it's a non optimal way to reduce headcount.

What are managers doing if they're only measure for who stays is "who is willing to drive or train to work?"

That's not management imho.
