> It sounds like if you're remote, you're not affected.

For now - first they change to hybrid 3 day within 40 miles, you don’t think they can change it again ?

Several year back when Yahoo decided that everyone needed to be in the office my company decided to play follow the leader. I got a note from HR telling me I had to go into the closest office which was about 30 miles from my house. I explained that the drive was about 90 minutes each way if the sun was shining, honest to god HR sends me a link from Mapquest showing it was only 65 minutes (at 2:00pm n a Tuesday). To make matters more interesting one of my co-workers didn't have an office in his state and he was told that he could move near an office or be fired. What they didn't plan for was the thousands of employees that needed desk space in offices built for a few hundred. Suddenly HR sends out another email saying we would remain remote temporarily and that was 8 years ago.
