This is just a different phrase for layoffs
Remember to lower productivity in the office and increase networking with your colleagues.
The standard question here which is never answered. What work isn’t getting done by employees working remotely? Nobody is ever willing to be specific, it’s always some vague notion that “more” work will get done when people are in the office.
