My company is starting to do this. People are actively leaving, and the company is just doubling down even more and just added an additional day of required office time, slowly clawing back to full time in office.

I literally told my boss if this happens for me I both won't come in anyways and will actively start seeking other opportunities.

Engineers who have been called back have already started leaving, but they seem to just hinge on hopefully surviving the storm.

Additionally we are already a global company, anybody who comes into an office will be on zoom meetings with other team members riddled across the country anyways.

My company did the same which led to lots of questions to determine the exact value of n so folk could move n+1 miles away and stay remote.

My company did this too but I just ignore it. I’ll stay until the pay stops shrug
