Yes, Twitter promised "work from home forever" and Musk unceremoniously reversed that. Same with Slack: https://mashable.com/article/slack-remote-work-permanent-cor...

I'm sure there are other but those are the two I know off the top of my head that promised work from home "forever" then went back on their word.

Then if I were a Twitter employee I'd be pretty upset. In terms of Google and Amazon and Apple telling people to come back to the office, though, not sure there's the same grounds for outrage.

They should have never used “permanent” or “forever”. New leaders come in, old leaders go out. Realities change. Should every subsequent CEO be bound by some promise of a prior CEO? Seems unsustainable.
