Any days in office just to spend most of it on zoom calls is too many.

I don't understand why companies don't "get" this bit of it.

I'm fairly amenable to the idea of RTO. Office work with a team is just different, and I've worked almost exclusively remote my entire career.

If I were a high level leader in these giant orgs trying to implement RTO I'd 100% ban any internal Zoom calls for in-office days. If you are in the office you are in the office. Why take the worst possible form of communication ever invented and totally remove the entire point of people being in one spot?

If you absolutely must sacrifice an entire day’s productivity, dedicate one day each week exclusively to video calls.

Everyone I work with is in other states.

They love a distributed office but don’t want employees to have a decent balance.

Ironically, screen sharing on zoom whilst all colocated can be less bad than sitting round a gigantic TV type screen for calls where screen content is needed :-|

This is why many see it as babysitting. In larger orgs, many or even all meetings l, depending on your function and seniority, are going to all be online and spanning multiple time zones.
