I had exactly the same experience. Me and whole bunch of other people left.
We were originally told to work from home would be permanent because they'd sold the office, but then they ended up buying a new office in a new location. I have no clue at all why they did this. WFH productivity was absolutely fine.
I have whole email chains saved where I explain to them, repeatedly, that I live 50 miles away from where the office is now. I don't have a car (I'm in Europe so that's normal), the old office was in walking distance of the bus station, the new office is in an industrial estate and on top of that due to covid cutbacks, public transport infrastructure had still not being brought back to pre-pandemic levels. They didn't care and said that we either had to turn up or be fired.
It didn't go well for them.
