Here they're pushing the "must be within 60 miles from the office" trope; I bet they'd say to drive in if it's after hours.

We went back to the office, I don't care because my commute is immaterial BUT now I leave my laptop there, I disassembled the workstation at home and packed it away, I will not work at home now. Teams is on my phone because I don't put the work email on my phone and needed a way to tell my team if I will be unexpectedly delayed. I don't open it ever though, and now we have a group text might take it off too.

ETA: I did also delete MS Teams, we have each other's phone numbers now.

As funny as this is, I’m quite certain if somebody actually tried this in the real world they’d get fired. At will employment means they don’t even have to tell you why you got fired. They’ll just wait a couple of weeks or a month and tell you goodbye.

That's not true at all in many countries. You can't just fire someone for no reason. It doesn't have to be a good reason but you need a reason. Also if someone is fired because of something that is protected under law like pregnancy they can come back and sue.

The employee can still sue. There's a reason why others say to keep documentation of everything in situations like this. While they don't have to tell you why you're fired, if you sue, they still have to provide adaquate reasoning. Can't really say "I just don't like the guy anymore' and have that be sufficient.

There's no way for us to know who's really in the right here since we don't know what the specifics of his employment agreement are. We can just agree that the employer is wrong, and stupid. Why piss off employees that actually do the work?
