In Verizon Looks to Recruit Rival AT&T Workers Facing RTO Mandate, Dominick Reuter looks into the newest return-to-office backlash. Verizon is trying to use AT&T RTO policy as leverage in competition for recruits.

The recruiting message comes as AT&T has had to navigate a rocky return to office this year, with some employees describing to BI a lack of desk space, parking shortages, and shifting guidance about the policy.

AT&T made a mess of it's RTO shift, when employees returned to the office and found there were Not Enough Desks.

Reuter continues:

As of Monday afternoon, Verizon's job listings website showed openings for more than 1,200 roles across the US, of which 10 were remote. Listings for several full-time positions require eight days in the office per month, as determined by a manager.
