Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.

Joke's on them, I quit my 11-year job with a company enacting RTO and it fucked them over because I had no backups and very little cross training my entire time there. Ex-employees have told me things went to shit after I left. Good. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Offer to come back as a consultant for 2x your previous pay

5x pay. Independent LLCs have all sorts of expenses, including taxes/marketing/accounting/etc.

Health insurance...

So much this. Health insurance is the primary reason I have a salaried position.
