Remote work has been implemented successfully even before the pandemic at even large companies like IBM. Sure there was a strange eb and flow cycles of flexibility vs coming back to the office every few years but a large company like that already works “remotely” due to the vast number of people working there and all employees end up having to work with people outside their office every day if not very often. It’s pretty clear that any directive to force people back into the office at that point is either a petty power move or a way to force voluntary attrition before having to do layoffs.
