> I remain baffled by executives' obsession with RTO

same reason some people think "professionalism" is about wearing smart shoes. While these sorts will never admit it to themselves, you are there to make them feel important. What you actually do is secondary, which is why they pay more attention to bullshit like presenteeism, than they do your work.

Man, if I could get the same level of attention on my PRs over the course of my career as I do about being occasionally late, then that'd be great.
