Don't let it fool you, they'll make exceptions to the rule for the ones they want to keep. This is just a way to make their "worst" performers miserable so they quit instead of laying them off. All the shit tech companies are doing it.

    As a datapoint from the other side, my company (big tech) is holding the party line no matter what. Lower level engineer or director - if you don't come in the requisite number of days a week, you're out. It's a bafflingly short-sighted move, but company culture is more important than anything apparently.

    You don’t have to waste people’s time and burn gas in traffic to foster a meaningful company culture. This is just about management egos needing to feel important, and always has been.

    This really depends. You would think that a company would know who it's top performers are, but if you are engineer who is more than two managers away from C suite, chances are the person who decides to end your job doesn't know or give a shit who you are, they just know that your salary is among the higher end. If a company wants to attract top talent they can always do so later
