Return-to-office struggles aren’t about policies; they’re about broken trust systems.

If leaders mistake RTO for a logistical shift instead of a relational one, they guarantee resistance, disengagement, and silent exits.

"Nothing starts you off on the wrong foot more than disingenuous behavior. If the leaders aren’t thrilled, don’t force anyone to fake it! The performative prance will bite you all in the end. Be honest that you’re in it together and bond on how to get through it. Understand the parameters and negotiables, and be kind."
