To be fair many companies who said you have to return to work did this as they knew they had to do lay offs. It is cheaper if people just leave and you don't have to pay a severance pay.
And more often than not, the people that left were the higher performing employees. Penny-wise, pound-foolish.
Sounds like a problem for 4 quarters from now, today we give out executive bonuses and cash out on the stock price increase!
Please don't think you have to be fair over that kind of behaviour
