Is the implication here that only untalented people would ever put up with working in an office?
I know it's not a commonly heard notion around these parts, but unlikely as it may seem, some people genuinely don't mind working in an office. Some even prefer it. Has nothing to do with talent, everything to do with preference and the level of compensation they get for doing it.
Talented people have more bargaining power. The implication is that nobody wants to work in the office, but some people do it because they have to.
Yes?
If you don't have the skills or experience to sell yourself then obviously you don't have a lot of options.
Not directly. The Dead Sea Effect says "those who can find an acceptable new job the fastest will leave first". That usually means the super-stars and more-talented, but the residue behind all that evaporation isn't all salt. Some people, even the most employable, will stick around, while their benefit/cost/risk/tolerance kind of equation still allows it.
For some people, RTO doesn't hit their cost and tolerance all that hard. The more unsuitable a person's home environment is for work and how easy their commute is, that'll greatly affect forced RTO acceptance and the Dead Sea Effect.
