Key point not in the article headline but in the article itself: they unionized 2 weeks earlier.

Oooh spicy lawsuit time!
These rttw mandates are stealth layoffs
The thing these brilliant people making these decisions don’t realize is that they are gonna lose the people they don’t want to lose. People who can find other jobs because they’re valuable people can easily find jobs; people who can’t find jobs will do more to stay.
I mean they are but it's an extremely cushy layoff and if you're out in a lower COL area your finances can stretch a bit more. Hell if I was one of those workers, I'd take it. Fuck going back to an office if they want to pay me to sleep in for half a year.
wtf when half the workers are willing to just walk, why isn't the union stepping in?
Most of these mandated return to office policies are implemented to get people to leave the company without getting bad press for layoffs. Seems like it worked for this one.
That’s a “quiet layoff” usually, unless an employee tells the press.

Kinda surprised it was only 178 ppl working for the app.
How the FUCK did they employ that many people??
I work for an app and there's lots of roles to fill and things to do.
Ads don't create themselves...

Good, let this be an example.
