I agree. I think this is first step to separate out people who are unwilling to relocate. Next they will look at the work they are doing, if deemed non-critical I assume they will be first to go.

I mean, isn't that the case with any job? So sure, this might be an extra consideration when the time for layoffs comes around.

My intention was not saying that nothing changed; emphasis on colocation is definitely a real thing. But IBM is not "ending remote work", as the headline says (it should be changed to the actual article title, which is more reasonable). It is most certainly allowed.

True, it is with any job. I still think it will be good filter for people who think IBM job is critical for them and family vs family and location is critical than IBM job.

I agree IBM will most likely lose good remote workers but for company of IBM size individual super performers are not critical to their financial well being.

Definitely agree with the title change, thanks for your insight as an employee.
