The US number here has an inverted twin in India. Indian IT services did not issue a mandate people could quietly ignore the way your BLS data shows: TCS tied office attendance to variable pay and promotions, Infosys caps remote at five days a quarter with automated flagging, Wipro moved to three days from January. When presence is wired to the appraisal letter, 'mandates don't move the needle' stops holding: the needle moves when RTO is a repricing, not a request. So which is US RTO actually failing on, conviction, or the fact that it never made staying home cost anything?
