CSCO is working on a major overhaul whereby all those who WFH/remote will have to come to the office 5 days a week (M-F). This will be implemented just before Q4 ends. Employees will be given 2 weeks to adjust to the new norm. Those who wont comply will be put on the chopping block. Only few exceptions will be granted.
Yahoo tried the same strategy and they failed miserable. I think this is just another excuse to get rid of older workers.
