Four company makes a return to office push, prepare for layoffs.

I do a hybrid schedule and we’re in a hiring phase. But I can imagine a couple years from now us being over staffed and then making people come back to the office. About 20% of our staff is full WFH, 60 hybrid with 3 days a week at the office. And 20% are wt the office 5 days.

It’s an excellent way for corporations to trim staff without having to pay benefits and severance. People who went full WFH need to be prepared for this.
