How does asking someone to come into an office become a lawsuit? I work from home and even I know that sounds ridiculous. People can go work elsewhere.

  If my employee agreement says fully WFH and I’ll be fired if I don’t switch to the office the company is unilaterally voiding my employee agreement. This can be a no-no in terms of state or even federal law and might free the employee from whatever they agreed to. More money to lawyers.

    Don't count on it. Most work in the US is "at-will" employment. Either you or the employer may terminate at any time without cause or obligation. Very few people actually have work contracts. The agreement you probably signed to accept your job is about your obligations and the company rules. It doesn't promise you can work at home. Having said that, it's shitty of Elon and stupid, too.

      Yep. There is also generally vague language saying your job includes "other duties as required." The end result of these "agreements" are essentially generic and as useless as the paper their printed on (which is usually none these days.) One would be wasting their time and money talking to lawyers, though I'm sure they'd take it anyway.
