    Given how bad this company is tanking, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was deliberately done to cut payroll.

      Absolutely, this return to office stuff has been an absolute gift for CEOs wanting to downsize, it’s the perfect fluffy PR way to turn the thumbscrews. Factor is the popular idea that you’re a lazy slacker of you don’t work hard all the time and you basically have public support too.

      I’m sure plenty of people will just stick it up and view the past few years as an amazing break from office nonsense and commuting hassle, also like an extended vacation. But enough will jump ship to fill quotas

        Office space costs a lot of money. Desktop computers cost a lot of money. The inability of their co-workers to immediately wake up and solve some emergency costs a lot of money.

        Every day they are not continuing remote work practices is another day they are bleeding money.
