they dont, they mostly want you to quit on your own i think
I wished everyone were in industries where the demand for employees is high enough that they can tell their employer to get fucked. The whole RTO thing is fucking idiotic.
These sort of back-to-office mandates are layoffs where they get out of any employee protections, right? I feel like a lot of layoff numbers are being hidden behind these mandates, and that corporate is doing some analysis of who will leave before they do it.
I'm 100% sure that's why my job did it, because it came right after a "hiring freeze" and they gave exceptions to departments where they couldn't afford turnover.
Yeah stealth layoffs. My company hasn’t committed to full time RTO but they keep leaving the door open for it. CFO apparently doesn’t care but my SVP seems to care. Half of my team is remote and I only work directly with one local person. When I go into the office I get on calls from my cubicle.
The company does provide relocation benefits to employees asked to move.
Damn, I wonder why people are quitting instead of relocating. 
That's intentional. If they wanted to retain these employees, who tend to be relatively well-paid, they'd provide stipends. They provide similar stipends to interns.
As a company you should be required to give like $100k to someone if you even ask them to consider relocating, and twice that if they lose their job because they won’t relocate
Inb4 they don't get any severance pay because it's counted as quitting or something
It should be illegal to make somebody move for an ongoing job, but to only give a month's notice should be
