I help a team that just this week was ordered from on-high to come into the office 4 days a week. Their product is on time and they just released v1 to rave reviews while working remote. Every single person on the team is now actively looking at other offers (they're good and their skills are very in demand). I've never seen an unforced error like this, total self destruction. I've been besides myself all week, never seen such a poor move by leadership ever. The entire project is going to be in serious trouble in about 3 weeks. It makes no sense.
/I'm not aligned to their organization (i'm just an SME/liason on the project) so the return to office order doesn't affect me or i would be doing the same.
