That's called "time to get a new job."
Before I came in here, I assumed that's what "or else" meant, and I'm still not sure it doesn't mean that.
Can you be fired for conditions they decided to change?
In the US, yes, in most states. If you're not following company policy, even if that changed since you started, that's not wrongful termination unless it's for "unfair labor practices" or something. Employment contracts don't really exist unless you're a contractor.
In most US states, you can be fired for any reason that isn't explicitly illegal.
In the USA, if it is not explicitly written in your job description/contract that you are remote, yes. It also means you can't apply for unemployment as you were terminated for refusal to perform work duties, even if you are working.
