my employer fired a double digit percentage of their workforce and then instituted draconian RTO policies to, in the words of an actual HR leader, "get rid of a few more without paying severance".

Within 3 weeks almost half as many people as they had fired had quit. Pretty much every single team lost their most critical employees. They started back pedaling that policy at week four, but they don't realize the only good people left are just being picky about which offer they take from where.
