Unilaterally changing someone’s terms of employment is a layoff.
How is that a question?
When I start any job I sign a piece of paper, the company doesn’t get to pretend that didn’t happen, nor can they just change the terms without negotiation. It’s a contract. It binds both directions.
Doing that should make them liable to legal suits.
Now, I get that we have “at will” employment in most of this country that idolizes the US, but that does not mean you can magically void whatever contracts you want.

Right, but what if remote work wasn’t in your employment contract? Like for just about everyone who started remote work during the pandemic.
Same thing.
During Covid I got a new contract which specified my primary workplace as work from home. That was agreeable so I signed it.
