This is exactly why in my country the law uses the concept of 'acquired rights'.

Basically, if an employee is consistently given a perk for a certain time, said perk implicitly becomes part of the contract and taking it away allows the worker to quit receiving the same compensation as if they've been fired.

Seems like that could just make companies hesitant to give out any perks in the first place.

Law of unintended consequences and all that.

Most high GDP countries don't have a business culture of optimizing for maximum cash in the owners hand at all possible costs, and indeed, even are interested in giving their employees a fair shake. Most places understand that employees are valuable and deserve dignity and respect, and have taken steps to ensure they get it.

Stating a remote policy in your contract and then forcing an RTO is basically constructive dismissal

Curious, which country(s) is this?
