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.
I've been saying this since the tech industry has been pushing RTO, I used to work in a large company that hopped on the layoff wave and they were pushing HARRRRDD for RTO. I quit before the bloodbath and found a more fun job :)
just slack off those 2/5 days where they force you in the office and kill their network while you're at it (upload unnecessarily)
Stupid af.
C'mon guys.

Are they doubling tapping themselves on their foot after the BS that they put on their ToS?

As someone starting out their career in a technical field, I would LOVE to be in the office more if more people from the projects I'm working on were regularly there, but it's just not feasible to require it.
Capitalism leaves us with barely any time to live, and so much time has been clawed back from WFH.
No way I'm advocating it to be mandatory to come into the office more than a single day a week.
