      That’s probably the idea.

      Get rid of a load of staff, cut costs, boost profits in the extreme short term.

        The problem with doing it this way is that the first people out are the best engineers that can quickly and easily get another job.

        Ah but of course, short term gains are clearly better when management can golden parachute away before the consequences arrive…

        Yep! They’re doing it because a lot of other companies are requiring people to come back and their business is struggling. They’re probably better off partnering with a biotech company and secretly releasing another virus to make people work from home again lol
