Ogden is about 50 miles away, depending on where you measure from. Provo is half that distance. The only concentrated population centers not within 50 miles of Draper are the Logan area and the St. George area in the far SW corner 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.

FTA:

> 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.”

I guess that's one way of laying more people off without having to fire them.
