    I seriously doubt this is the case, mostly because it doesn’t actually pencil out money-wise.

    More likely, it’s a stealthy way to be able to lay people off without calling it a layoff.

    Also, in-office employees are easier to control and monitor for bad managers.

      It’s also a way to steal pay from any employees that were paid in stocks and haven’t been fully vetted yet.

      Amazon is notorious for paying less salary in currency and more in stocks that will take like 3 years before they belong to the employees.

      I’d reckon it’s probably a bit of pile A a bit of pile B depending on the company location of the offices

      Yeah, I bet it’ll be selectively enforced. The high performers (or people whose managers like them, anyway) can do whatever, but low performers or those whose managers dislike them get fired. Incidentally, that will surely have lots of bias, as selective enforcement always does.
