Scott Salmirs has a unique view of the RTO tug of war between workers and bosses that has taken over American offices over the past few years. For 22 years, Salmirs has served as the CEO of ABM Industries, a company that maintains work spaces for more than half the companies on the Fortune 500.
While it seems like the RTO battles have reached a plateau, with companies settling into a hybrid detente, Salmirs says the fight isn’t over; many CEOs are secretly hoping to add on another day to two of in-person work to employee schedules. That’s particularly true now that the labor market has shifted power away from workers, and back into the hands of bosses.
