This is just a way to have layoffs without having to call it a layoff. Employees that dont want to move will likely be offered a severance package.

If remote is important to you, look for a remote-only company so your life doesn't have to change to fullfil the wishes of some douchebag CEO.

Exactly! Want to work remote, do not even bother with "hybrid" companies. In the end, the CEO will just want to say "nO oNe WaNtS tO wOrK aNyMoRe" anyway.

Or terminated for cause, so it's cheaper than a layoff

They won't be offered severence. They want the whip to sting as much as possible.
