My theory is that they need attrition, and they need managers to be managing out employees at a higher rate than they’ve historically been comfortable. So they won’t typically fire someone directly for attendance (yet) but they will give the managers permission to do so. That’s what these memos are meant to convey.
Maybe we’ll see something similar from other big tech cos in the near future, since they all use the same consulting firms for these decisions.
