We have know all along that the entire RTO thing is about causing attrition to avoid paying severance
Let’s review:
Phase 1: getting people back to the office. The eased it in with promises of 3 day hybrid, then changed it to 5 and widened the radius from the office to whom
It applies. If not enough people quit then proceed to phase 2
Phase 2: is getting remotes to come into the office. This could require relocation or simply commute regardless of how far away that requires. Failure to comply will result in termination. No severance here.
