For context, this encompasses the entirety of the Salt Lake Valley, most of Utah Valley, and most of Davis County (north of Salt Lake City). I don't know where I would find hard numbers but this sounds to me like the majority of the population of Utah.
If companies start mandating in-person work based on distance from the office, that's a pretty good incentive for people to move away. If I lived 40 miles form the office and faced an ugly commute, moving 11 miles becomes a real option to weigh against other factors.
Hopefully just to tide you over while you find another job so you can jettison this dirtbag company.
> The company added that the employees could not bypass the mandate by now moving outside of the radius, saying that would be “counterproductive to the purpose of this decision.”
That's a lot of words to say, "the beatings will continue until morale improves"
