I think these two are related and get to the core of the matter:
> Management – 10% of you are fired.
> Employees – but we were hired as fully remote. Most of us don't even live near an office.
I don’t think there is any solid evidence demonstrating on-site makes workers more or less productive than remote. But companies have demonstrated over the last 6 months that they overhired to an absurd degree.
This is just a way of further reducing headcount without having to actually do layoffs.
