But Musk has already issued an edict saying that everyone will be in the office for at least 40 hours / week.

Sure, but if someone has a decent emergency fund saved up + the 3 months severance that should get them through long enough to find work on the other side.

And if you’re a professional and don’t have an emergency fund that is somewhere between six months to two years of expenses then downsize your life until you do.
Your emergency fund is fuck you money and the bulk of your leverage when getting out of a bad work situation.

But that only means people will start to look for another job while working for Twitter. As soon as they find something, they quit. That's even worse than quitting suddenly (because the ones who are looking for a job somewhere else won't have their minds on Twitter anymore).
Because moving suddenly is difficult? Because if you can work remotely your job may be pretty cushy? Because there have been a bunch of layoffs in the sector and jobs aren't just materializing for everyone anymore? etc.
Hunting for a job generally sucks no matter how good you are.
