Maybe the RTO job they switch to is a better match with their location. Some people accepted a job assuming or being told it was permanently WFH. From 2007 through 2010 I worked in an office in a job I didn’t particularly like and repeatedly turned away recruiters from Google. In 2010 I joined Oracle (Solaris org) remotely. As the Solaris org wound down, I continued to turn away the google recruiters with positions that would have required a move. Since leaving Oracle I’ve held two other remote jobs. If any of those remote jobs would have required me to move within commuting distance of an engineering office, I would have left.
