The second part, I think people don't pick up on that often enough. These return to office pushes are soft layoffs. They get to do a layoff without paying severance or even unemployment.

You’d think hiring someone fully remote then changing the terms of the job would qualify but I m only a bird lawyer.
While this is true, they also don't get to have as much control and who leaves.
Normally when you do layoffs you strategically keep the people on who were best for the company.
Corporate culture these days seems to value people who will eat shit and smile, not expect raises and not quit when they should above most other metrics.... so they do keep the people "best" for the company.
