Some of our brightest stars on this forum will make the walk of shame following the mandate of five days in office in January 2025. Posters on this forum have indicated that policy will not be implemented on the same date for all organizations. If true, can the company terminate for cause for failure to be in office if enforcement is not identical across all organizations?

"T employment is "at will.""
It depends which state you are in. T does not make the employment rules, the government does.
T employment is "at will."
This means either party can terminate employment for any reason at all.
You can quit and T can fire you for whatever.
Being terminated for cause and simply retiring are indistinguishable for the majority of current employees. Don't quit. Make them fire you.
Virtual employment is not under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Sorry.
"if nobody can do same of the job in the office then nobody can be of the terminate."
Um, what? And y'all up in here upvoting that.
Orgs dictate the RTO rules/dates. I can’t sue because my org won’t allow me to stay in Bothell even though other orgs allow it.
Yes it’s legal. If you don’t like your org rules, apply for another.
“ The moment the prosecution begins their first line of questioning, AT&T loses …”
Tell me you know nothing about Employment law, or for that matter law in general, without stating it directly.
This isn’t “Law and Order”. Your boss isn’t going to be on the stand with the DA prosecuting a criminal case.
And as far as a class action goes, unlikely at best. As previously mentioned, the employer can pretty much do what they want and don’t have to explain themselves. Look up “at will” employment.
They can and will do as they please. Best thing to do is go to work. Is that asking too much?
Yes. In at will states, they don't even have to provide a cause. What do you think a lawyer will say if you tell them you were directed to be in office 5 days and refused. And no, no legal standing as far as I know where every employee has to have the same wfh opportunity.
if nobody can do same of the job in the office then nobody can be of the terminate.
no way can the company pick the eenie meenie moe of the people. all must be same. the policy of the hr white hair ladies must be for whole company. it is because of this they make all peoples safe from the bad supervisor.
No they cannot. The moment the prosecution begins their first line of questioning, AT&T loses because it will be revealed immediately just how selective and targeted this intentional layoff scam is to the specific demographic.
Yes.
