Whenever people invoke the silly RTO mandates in conversations about #RemoteWork & #FlexibleWork, all I can think of is this short video clip that keeps haunting me time and time again 
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/c8vpHmHlii8
It pretty much nails it for me, specially, because it also taps pretty harshly into the overall toxic narratives of #EmployeeEngagement & #PeopleCentric orgs.
Surprised? Not likely!
PS. A slightly longer reflection shared on this other video clip https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zoL0SMsO6AE
@lxs@fosstodon.org@elsua had pleasure & honour of sitting in the same room as @rorysutherland at the invitation of #RashikParmar IBM AoT to engage & facilitate 1/2 day #Sunderland Smarter Cities hackathon 
Was immersive experience to be huddled together in a small room with such thought-provoking minds & soulful openness! 
Collaborating with the city’s community: residents, academics, business teams… & external contributors — to bridge social divides, and ideate future #SmartCity 
@lxs Oooh, that's brilliant, Alexis! How long ago was that? It's been a looong while since I last heard #SmartCities. Either way, it's *great* to read you're also here in the #Fediverse. Hope all is well at your end these days ...
@elsua our huddle in room most likely early 2012 … = «many moons ago»
Smart Cities persist ;)
Yet observe fewer grand projects, and yet we have access to increasing voracity of data 
(yet also a need to have strong veracity competencies = validate for truth)
Yes, I am fedi-connected; nearly fully immersed (alas, not yet fully cut the cord to the now gloomy old socials)
@lxs Good to know Smart Cities still persist. I hardly ever hear / read about them nowadays. In fact, I think it's been years since I last saw something on the topic coming through my social streams
