Sounds like a PR-friendly way to do layoffs. Force people back into the office knowing 30%+ are going to quit.

  Yeah, sometimes these are soft-layoffs, but even under that logic it's a bad idea: your best employees are the ones who have the most options outside of your company. If you do a traditional layoff you get to decide who stays and who goes and have at least the chance to try and retain your top players. If you do a soft-layoff someone else does the choosing, and the more employable the employee is on the outside the more likely they are to leave. Just ass-backwards decision-making no matter how one slices it.

    > your best employees are the ones who have the most options outside of your company Aren't these employees the most likely to get exceptions though?

      The best 3%? Probably. The best 30%? Probably not.
