we have in-person in a cubical video calls because our team and department is scattered across multiple physical locations.

You've got to insist everybody be at the same location for collaboration. Demand management to arrange conference room, flights or travel and hotel rooms. It might cost a pretty penny and effort but think of the synergy created.

    Even before COVID/WFH, this was the case of being spread out. CEO basically eviscerated on town halls, with a dead-eye blank stare in reaponse, then continues to champion RTO in the face of direct conflicts of their own words.

    There aren't enough cubes for the full timers, there aren't enough conf rooms or other reservable meeting spaces, there isn't distribution of needed equipment (headsets with ANC, decent mics or computers that can do noise supression without making the computer uselessly slow.

    Mentioning these things are ignored though. The CEO and others continue on. Performing remote work for maintenace, patching, etc. outside business hours got a lot more obnoxious to "the business people", now that we seek approval for outages during business hours to do the work inthe office, as mandated.

    This is a feature not a bug to the CEO
