RTO is also about control. A person working from home from a small town will be financially independent within 10 years. Companies don't like financially independent employees. They are harder to control and more demanding. They cannot be made to work as hard as people dependant on their job for livelihood. 🙏

[sjgghosh]

Honestly working from office isn't the issue.. The issue is travel & staying away from native place

[anshulmehta]

Major reason for these service based companies like TCS, Cognizant, Infosys etc to call their employees to office is Real Estate. They have invested in office spaces and their leadership team have invested in flats nearby offices. if employees work from home, whole real estate market will fall. who will pay the rent for the flats a Senior Manager has prchased near the office for rental income?

[MrDebapriyaRoy]

Two important reasons not covered in the video are:
1. Govt forcing companies to bring people back to office to facilitate lateral employment
2. Companies are able to leverage WFO to trigger voluntary attrition over and above firing. More bucks for them.

[shabnam]

Honestly, I started doing WFH from November last year and I can see lot's of positive improvements in my mental and physical health.
I had to go to office once in a week, this helped me to connect with team and understand what's happening in work.
That was enough.

Why don't Indian IT companies build satellite offices in Tier2 & Tier3 cities? They are easy to invest and loyal employees from their natives or close by towns/ villages. For IT you just need electricity, Internet backbone & AC with seats. This can reduce congestion in metros and tier1 cities. Zoho company is a classic example of it.

[dushyantvazarkar]

I prefer "Work from Anywhere." Period!

[elvsskt]

Cognizant CEO is a labor contractor(thekedar).
Salesforce CEO is an actual engineer and productive person. 😅

[muniswamybl]

traffic in bengaluru makes me sick to go for office why IT company prefer certain places why not all other places

[bodapudimaheshbabu]

I am huge supporter of WFH where it makes sense as you don't have to live in congested cities with sub standard living . Working from Cities is huge burden on overloaded cities.WFH decentralises and people and brings prosperity to small towns/villages in long run. All the IT companies will eventually move to work from anywhere model. Otherwise they are going to lose talent and business eventually.

Governments will indirectly push companies to work from office as it increases revenue and also increases small scale / medium scale employment. If you were to go to office, you would then surely buy dresses, shoes, belts, make up items(for ladies). You would then use some form of transport which would consume petrol/diesel or metro or cab. I am sure you would eat out with your friends in canteen or in restaurants and then head out for a beer in the evening. This whole cycle is lost when you work from home which the government cannot afford.

Why don't they give desktop then? Stop asking employeed to login from home post 8PM & before 8AM.

Imagine getting a salary of 50K / month but company forces you to work from office and hence you need to shift near to office where the rent prices are 25K / month for 1 bhk. 12K/month for PG with 4 sharing without any space in room left.

If u choose to stay in cheap flats they are too far adding your travel time 4 hours/day. Not to mention intense heat of sun we need to face, or travelling difficulties due to lack of public transport.

Working from home saves 4hours travelling + 2 hours when you need to settle in your workspace.

WFH saves rent +travel expenses = less financial burden. While rent prices are doubling in 6 months we are not given any hike or 5% hike yearly basis. Keeping us poor.

Not to mention 30% government taxes+ 20-50% surcharge tax on monthly salary.

Not to mention the food prices going up from 10 rupees to 250 rupees for same alloo paratha in just 2 years. Food poisoning due to poor food and water quality.

We are not employee we are slaves, forced to be poor no matter how much you earn.

If a consumer pays GST taxes from their poket to compensate gor the taxes companies need to pay for their profit thenwhy salary person pay taxes? Why not companies pay our taxes from their pockets to compensate for our taxes?

[angshu]

There is another underline reason. That is our offices are mostly in SEZ zones and these IT companies enjoy the tax rebate with a promise that they will bring these many footfalls in that area. So when it comes to revenue vs employees, we all know whats they will choose!

[laondevg]

Joined work force in 2010 so have seen the aftermath of 2008. Treat organization as cheating girlfriend or boyfriend. You just use them as they are not loyal anyone and use everyone. Save and invest as much as possible. Take care of self and loved ones. Colleagues become friends only after they leave organization or you leave the organization.

[sundareshprabhu]

Micro Management used to reduce appraisal, insider threats like this there are a lot more reasons for the companies to prefer "work from office" but for employee perspective it will save a huge load of money in "work from home" because they don't need to relocate to other cities, health issues, commuting exp., food exp. is expensive if relocated, rental exp. for relocated place as well as family residence stayed in different city, etc.

[naveenkumarkatragadda]

If Data is the issue and becomes a business reason for RTO, this concern must be already existing all over the world as WFH/Hybrid/Remote jobs are exist for many years in USA and other countries.

This is for more of control, India's SEZ guidelines and revenue impacts of others ancillary iob sectors rather than mutual benefit of employeee and organisation.

If this RTO is taken seriously, it will burst as employee retention will be tough once World is back with GDP growth rates green and inflation is normal.

Hybrid is something companies can try out.
But next 10 years employee retention is crucial as training in new era of AI technologies along with existing tech stack/domain expertise will become toughest job.

Govts want centralisation of growth zones, controls instead of decentralisation and sustainable development.

[rutpshah]

Work from office becomes a lot of distractions. You can't go into focus zone especially when working on complex problems

[gjinkalla]

They need your life force to work for them, not just your skills. How can a mananger feel he is one without the physical re-evaluation of all other people around him?
I worked once at an office and they told me I am not emotionally inveseted: yes I am not, what are you my family? It is too late, people have options already! Companies must evolve around people's lifestyle not the other way around. Covid taught us what really matters

[nishantb]

I have decided to work from home only ! It's my preference and I will stick to it. Unless my work place is not more than 20 to 30 minutes. Moreover, the infrastructure must be good and ergonomic. Can't spend my precious life and time commuting. No money can bring back time or my health.
