Wouldn't be surprised if this is just to weed out employees so they don't need to do layoffs. Forcing return to office keeps employees that are "loyal" to the company while potentially trimming down total headcount.

They'll have a ton of workers who are hundreds to thousands of miles away, housed elsewhere, with kids in school, who will have to quit rather than somehow go to that office, so yeah.

Hahaha Zoom about to be btfo by resignations
That's probably the idea.
Get rid of a load of staff, cut costs, boost profits in the extreme short term.
The problem with doing it this way is that the first people out are the best engineers that can quickly and easily get another job.
Ah but of course, short term gains are clearly better when management can golden parachute away before the consequences arrive...
Ah, but they're also the best paid.
Double savings.
