Many businesses are returning to the office, which is resulting in workers who prefer fully remote or hybrid work to resign from their positions. If they had asked their job to include specifics about the remote/hybrid policies in their work contract, they would be locked into those policies and could not be forced back into the office.
Never take for granted that the terms of your employment will stay the same unless there is a signed contract ensuring it.
FYI for the majority of US based folks, this will not matter. Most US based folks are working “at will”, meaning the company can change the role requirements and fire you at any time.
Valid, but also, if the terms of your employment change you are eligible for unemployment. Versus if your contract doesn’t specifically list remote/hybrid work, you’ll be forced to abide by it or quit.
Of course they can always claim a BS reason for your firing but this can open them up to lawsuits.
