Such transparent manipulation to get managers to quit without severance.
1. Allow workers to work remotely
2. Shutter local offices
3. Mandate #returnToOffice
4. Attrition!
Remember that this is not the first time IBM pulled this trick. They did the same thing in 2017, when they were being hailed as an innovative company for reducing cost by not having physical offices. They forced people to RTO and caused a bunch of people to quit without severance.
