This is why they did it. It's a great way to reduce headcount without paying severence.

Forced relocation of more than 20 miles or so (some reasonable amount that doesn't require a move) should not allow a company to get out of severance. That should be illegal.

In many countries it is classed as constructive dismissal.

It's not exactly illegal but it is considered constructive dismissal which at least qualifies you for unemployment.
