Listen "How RTO mandates impact Big Tech's competitiveness | Coffeesodes 02"
Episode Synopsis
This coffeesode reviews a working paper by Van Dijcke, Gunsilius, and Wright (2024) that investigates the causal effects of return-to-office (RTO) mandates on employee tenure and seniority at major US tech companies.
Using a large resume dataset and a sophisticated statistical technique called "distributional synthetic controls", the working paper provide compelling evidence that RTO policies lead to a significant outflow of senior, long-tenured employees, primarily to large, direct competitors.
