I wonder how many people left because of RTO. I don't think there were many though?? I also wanted to leave but I couldn't find a full remote option that suits me better.

It wasn’t the only reason I left and I’m not against RTO but the micromanagement of it tipped me over the edge. Just creates a horrible atmosphere when your employers don’t trust you without a stupid dashboard that doesn’t even really work (holidays etc).
I'm waiting to see what happens. If they change my status and make me come to the office, I'll wait until later in the year to start looking. I have a friend trying to get me to apply at his company, where positions are mostly WFH, and it's only 7.5 miles from my house. It probably pays more too, as they're really short-staffed and are paying hiring bonuses to both new hires and any employee who refers them.
I was talking to a co-worker who was in the office yesterday. He left his house at 7am and got there at 8:45am (around 35 miles). That's such a waste of time.
Left for a job that was in the office more, but a lot more money. If they are willing to pay more, I can overlook the commute. It’s not bad being in an office now, since I actually work with the people there
I found another job that made us come in three days a week but they were paying me 40,000 more. I could tolerate being at the low end of my salary if I could stay remote and enjoy the flexibility, but BNYM made it easy for me to switch sides as they took away more and more
