How the hell are you confused when EA does something shitty?
Folks should unionize. The people mandating these “return to office” schemes can’t do shit unless labor cooperates.
It’s called quiet layoffs. EA gets to reduce how many employees they have without spooking the market.
This. RTO is about forced attrition. More experienced, higher paid folks are more willing to leave over rto and you keep the scared lower level ones you pay less.
Its disgusting and its Amazon, MSFT, and everyone elses move to quiet fire and reduce industry salaries.
They are mad they have to pay employees.
It’s EA… how are they confused?
Say it with me, now.
Tax breaks.
If a company has the infrastructure to support WFH but chooses to RTO it is due to tax breaks the company gets by filling seats in the office.
That’s just one of several possible reasons. None of them are better tho.
You know what’s more effective at saving money than tax breaks? Not having a huge office you don’t need :)
just sayin’
