I think the companies who do this think they’re being clever by soft-firing their less passionate employees and retaining their most dedicated and/or most easily influenced employees. In reality they’re doing a layoff of their most competent employees who are best able to find work elsewhere from companies that respect their desire to work from home. The idea that you can’t change roles or be promoted by being remote is particularly absurd.
