    These sort of back-to-office mandates are layoffs where they get out of any employee protections, right? I feel like a lot of layoff numbers are being hidden behind these mandates, and that corporate is doing some analysis of who will leave before they do it.

    I'm 100% sure that's why my job did it, because it came right after a "hiring freeze" and they gave exceptions to departments where they couldn't afford turnover.

      Yeah stealth layoffs. My company hasn’t committed to full time RTO but they keep leaving the door open for it. CFO apparently doesn’t care but my SVP seems to care. Half of my team is remote and I only work directly with one local person. When I go into the office I get on calls from my cubicle.
