It's a great idea if you can afford it. I'm in the same boat: early 50s, low millions net worth, but no real estate. I'm debating biting the bullet and buying a condo, since RTO has torpedoed any possibility of moving further out and buying a bungalow, but I hate the idea of tying up so much capital in a non-yielding asset. $500K in a condo is $20K/year of retirement income gone (based on the 4% withdrawal rule) since that money would no longer be invested in my portfolio. But... not having to pay $2K+ in rent would make up for it, I guess, and the condo could always be sold for a tax-free gain when the time came to move into retirement living/end-of-life care.

Khameni Jr just issued a fatwa against RTO. Amazon issued a statement indicating they’re sticking with it.

Alltså. Om man inte förstår kliniska program och biotech, speciellt när en fas 3a misslyckas, då kanske man ska köra en fond.
Om du analyserar bolaget som en RTO kandidat kan du räkna bort 80-90% i utspädning. Visst. Kassa per aktie ser bra ut. Men att stänga ner något över dagen sker sällan.
Tror även att huvudägarna snart kommer till VD med en idé om att studien är fel designad och att man ska göra något snabbt för att visa detta

I worked as a SWE at Microsoft for 4.5 years.
The management chain from the CVP up is obscenely hilariously incompetent. They waste employees time with random rules to justify their own existence.
In many orgs now one of the key metrics for performance is how often engineers interact with copilot. Mustafa has a new 4 day per week mandatory RTO policy and thousands of engineers are quitting the company because of it. This policy is primarily a short term way for Mustafa to justify to Satya why copilot has been such a flop. “We aren’t delivering user growth because our employees work remote. If we forced them to come to the office they would work harder.” 6 months from now when Mustafa still cannot deliver he will have no excuses left.
Internally the security team has been given Carter Blanche to tear the company apart.
Engineering time is wasted with continuous security reviews year round so that middle management can pretend to upper management that they are “doing security”. The auditors performing the security reviews can’t even articulate to the engineers what the goals of these security reviews are other than the need to be done.
TLDR: Microsoft is a rotten cesspool of a company rotting from the inside out by virtue signaling amongst bloated and incompetent management. No one can get anything done due to fake work and broken abandoned tooling which no one is incentivized to fix.

They are one of the big tech companies that haven’t done super huge layoffs yet (there were some small ones). Maybe besides Google (but Google is actually leading in the AI space so they have no reason). Microsoft also just did RTO in January. I’m guessing there will be a big wave of layoffs in the coming months using RTO as an excuse to pump the stock.
