In the months following return-to-office mandates, an increased number of senior employees departed Apple, Microsoft, and SpaceX, often to work for competitors.
Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful tech companies - Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX - were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent, according to a case study published last week by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan.
Researchers drew on resume data from People Data Labs to understand the impact that forced returns to offices had on employee tenure and the movement of workers between companies.
