At my last company we were allowed to work remotely full-time if we wanted, so I did. Then we got acquired by a west coast tech giant and six months later everybody who had been working remotely was laid off. A few months later they closed down the offices of my original company and laid off everybody who wasn't willing to relocate from DC to California. And then a few months after that they laid off everybody from my original company who had relocated to California. And all of this only happened because my original company was a very minor competitor in the tech giant's space.
Wow that is cruel. Even if unintentional, the effect is cruelty. Shame
That sucks, what a awful experience.
I do remember that happening to one of my prior jobs and leaving when I saw the writing on the wall. So it may also be a bit of my own drive to only work for companies that has that culture.
The logical outcome should be that all workers in that company start looking for another work and leave as fast as they can.
