Dell specifically has been super gung ho on work from home. Michael Dell had some article in Forbes or something a couple years ago that was hyping how great WFH had been for the company. They were actually paying people to WFH since it saved the company money. Dell's business model benefitted heavily from WFH since companies had to buy more computers and peripherals to support a remote workforce.

So, the "return" to office seems like a pretty naked attempt to cause people to quit without having to pay severance.
