The employee in question was terminated because they didn't want to go to the office. They had a third option, which was to go to the office and look for another job in the meantime, and not get fired in the first place. That's what most people would do. >do the bare minimum at work - income keeps flowing, and employee can look for another source of income This is right, but if they demand that you go to the office then you have to do it. Trying to trick them into thinking that you're going to the office when you're not is asking for trouble. If you need the money then you should just go and not make too much noise about it.
