  It does impact him. His employment opportunities are just as restricted by in office policies as everyone else in the industry.

Would you be mad if your employer forced you to move and revoked remote work? Because that's exactly what's happening to the thousands of COVID era Amazon employees hired under a full time remote contract. It's fully within Amazon's rights to change the terms of the contract, just as it is with your employer, but that doesn't mean the people impacted can't complain about it, and it definitely has an effect on reputation for the stability of employment agreements Amazon offers.

  I wouldn't exactly be mad, I'd quit. So far haven't had to, but I had Amazon and other offers ready in hand last year in case that was needed.

  If my employer pays me more salary to compensate for the things/times I will lose by going to office, I might say yes. Else I'll find another job. They'll have to pay me severance/give notice period etc too. Don't join companies like Amazon who will _never_ go full remote. Just because you joined a company _at a time_ when it was _forced_ to remote by external circumstances (act of God or biolab), doesn't mean you can expect that way of work to remain as it is once that circumstance is resolved. Just like working remote has a lot of benefits, it has tons of issues. I know because I've worked 95% of my career remote. I would _never_ recommend remote to any Junior or even Senior SDE. It is bad for your career+skill growth (for some it is opposite; like me; but that's a tiny minority). And this is just one issue. And no. No reputation/stability is harmed for companies like Amazon for this. There are plenty of people who knew these companies will RTO sooner or later; in fact it is surprising they didn't do it sooner.
