Agreed and I want to add one more bit:
Go back to the office. Sit in your chair in your cubicle. And get to work.
It’s as simple as that.

What happens is that the positions were advertised and filled as hybrid but till end of last year that meant basically full WFH. Now the companies are enforcing the actual contracts . Same thing happened at my company And when the employees said the same thing as the OP, the company asked them to check their contracts.

Ya that’s the funny thing . If companies want things done remotely they don’t need to hire most people in the US. You can outsource the work to other countries.
Plus the ppl making the quit posts , I wonder how they got a job in the first place.

Yeah, I’ve been acutely aware of the situation. You know there are simple things like taking out the trash, washing a truck and vacuuming.
I bring that up with people at work and they’re like that’s not in my job description.
Or I get people saying you know there’s no reward for I’m the MVP And he doesn’t get paid for all the extra work he does.
I just don’t wanna be in a dirty office or a dirty truck. And shocker I do things off the clock sometimes for a couple of minutes.
Was so desired. Losing the rich and normal ppl by the hundreds yearly now
There’s bigger injustices. Trust me.
I always thought CA was losing residents because they legalized weed and now many towns and stores like Walmart smell of the stuff 
And I thought that’s why people were moving back.
Hundreds of thousands* per year.

That never happened.
Im filing a grievance with the union steward.
The population is dropping every year so if foreigners are taking it , they are not been counted in the census .
My own brother is a California refugee. He took off from San Jose to Colorado about 6 years back . Bought a house 3 times as big as the one he sold in CA for 1/2 the price .
Yeah our state is super anti union and a right to work
yeah you can tell california is bad because so many people want to live there
Take out emotion and speculation and what are you left with.
A tweet by one worker.
If Blizz gave out contracts saying that the position is fully WFH, then most likely the ask of return wasnt aimed at them. The ask to retrun is aimed at employees whose contract never stated that WFH was a permenant situation going forward.
Sure, people leave to cheaper cities to live in, but when your office is in one city why would you suddenly move if WFH wasnt set in stone? That doesnt make sense to me. Sounds like some emplyees made some bad decisions based off assumptions without negotiating anything with the company.
Brito is right on this and I dont see why people jump on him. If the employee contact never stated that the position would be 100% WFH, why would anyone be suprized that they have to show up at the office? Especially since its only 3/5 work days being the office, not every day.
Everyone is in business for themselves. If you work for someone you got one main customer. Better make the most of it.
I always ask new folks who the customer is and they always say xyz end user. Thats incorrect, its the next person you hand your work off to.
Yeah bananas, they went from 30c a lb to over 60c, now back under 40c, but I’m seeing everything else continues to go up.
Banana people are doing it right.

Contracts matter. They are legally binding.
Where are you getting this?
They followed the same linear path that everyone else took.
No. Here’s what I think happened: A lot of internet shut-ins got excited that they could actually WFH and didn’t read the fine print of the agreement. Then when COVID ended and normalcy returned, they soon discovered they were back to square one; living vicariously through twitter with their pronouns in their bio.
