Seems like the RTO was rushed and mishandled for some reason. I can only guess they wanted to punish the unionizers or just do a major layoff without calling it a layoff.
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.
