20K plus will be "impacted" by the decision. I heard State Farm has done the same as well. [/quote]

I lost my job at Fidelity 2 years ago because of this. I was hired as a remote employee during covid times. There was no physical office in the area where I lived. Fidelity asked me to go to one of their offices alternate weeks on my own dime. I obviously couldn't agree to it forcing me to quit the company. I was one of the high performing persons but that didn't matter. Policy was policy. [/quote]

I’ve seen this happen at my org recently. We had a manager who was laid back and leadership replaced them with two lackeys who’ve started clamping down on remote work and micromanaging everyone’s work arrangements. They’ve already lost one high performer who wasn’t going to disrupt their life to move closer to the office just to report to hoteling stations. It’s really about money. They don’t give a shit if you’re a top performer. You’re replaceable and even better, replaceable with a cheaper new hire.[/quote]
