About RTOShame

Our Mission

In a world where CEOs think your productivity is directly proportional to the number of times you can be seen at your desk, RTOShame exists to document the absurdity of forced Return-to-Office policies.

We're here to shine a light on the corporate theater of pretending to work while actually just waiting for the clock to hit 5 PM.

"Because nothing says 'we value your time' like making you commute 2 hours to attend a meeting that could have been an email."

What We Do

  • Document companies that force their employees back to the office for "collaboration" (read: micromanagement)
  • Share stories of the daily commute that could have been an email
  • Track the number of free snacks offered as compensation for lost work-life balance
  • Count the minutes spent in unnecessary meetings that could have been Slack messages
  • Calculate the carbon footprint of your CEO's private jet vs. your forced commute
  • Document the number of times "synergy" is mentioned in RTO announcements

Why We Do It

Because nothing says "we trust our employees" like forcing them to spend 2 hours commuting to sit in a different chair to do the exact same work they were doing from home.

And because someone needs to keep track of how many companies are using "company culture" as an excuse for poor management decisions.

"We're not saying your CEO is wrong, we're just saying they're paying millions for a building so you can take Zoom calls in a different chair."

Join the Movement

Share your RTO horror stories. Document the absurdity. Let's make corporate America think twice before forcing their employees to waste their lives in traffic.

"Remember: Your commute is just your CEO's way of saying 'I don't trust you to work from home, but I do trust you to work from a coffee shop on your way to the office.'"
