    1. He’s saying the quiet part out loud. The only reason he’s forcing you to go back to the office (and waste time and money on commuting) is to thin the ranks prior to a layoff and avoid paying severance.

      The recency bias thinking it’s a “hot job market” is going to be a lot of people’s FOFO moment and they’ll just quit. The job market is trash so plan accordingly. It’s easy to quit.

      So even if you stay, you could still get laid off. But at least you can get unemployment. You won’t be eligible if you quit.
