Do I really need to go back into the office? Is there a way around this?

@329 not true. Many remote companies still around.
The only person that would use the word bootlickers is someone that comes from an inbred family. t u r d s
Weird boot lickers in the comments, so much for the future of innovation with AI! You still need to physically commute to a job that can be done from home because managers are bad at hiring and operating.
Imagine thinking lazy people are bringing the company down without questioning the abilities of the people hiring the "lazy employees" supposedly causing this problem in the first place. Open your eyes.
There are very few truly remote companies left. Easiest is to find another job, will be hard to find a completly remote role. Instead of feeling as going back to office is a punishment think of it that you had 5 years to work from home.
Return to office is great, I hope they remove remote positions, that would be a good call.
Totally options.
You could selfishly try to move further away and hope they approve WFH.
You could quit and go find a doomed DEI job.
You could whine cry and pout until they fire you.
Or you could grow up and go to work. Like an adult.

@hd 35 days per quarter for anyone within 25 miles of the office.
What are they requiring as far as the RTO mandate?
Yeah this is clearly pressure from the board, owners or both. I don't think Kees wants to do another layoff so I firmly believe this is meant to thin headcount.
How is there a back to office mandate, just for
People that live in the area. Is there even enough space?
It’s obvious they’re trying to thin the number of employees even more and don’t want to pay severance. Just trying to drive enough people crazy that they quit on their own. Kees either doesn’t care, or he’s being pushed by the board to do these things…or both. The owners of 2U’s debt aren’t interested in the company truly improving. They’re just trying to get the place as lean as possible to then sell.
