> CEO says firm is smaller than ideal but positive for margins

Sounds like "quiet cutting"[0] to me, only I'm guessing the CEO's target was slightly less people quitting.

It's remarkable how quickly startups have become aggressively anti-worker.

No I think this was the goal. This wasn't just "start commuting to the office in your city", this was "pack up your life and move to Chicago, all software engineers have to work from that office now". It was obviously absurd and intended to force at least this many people out.

Getting paid a high salary and having a percentage of people not do work is not a realistic expectation to have.
