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.

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

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.
