Company forces employee to travel halfway across the world to work from office, then fires him days later

An anonymous employee has claimed on Reddit that his company gave him 10 days to return from abroad and work from the office, despite his plans to travel home a month later. After spending heavily on a last-minute flight, he said he was fired shortly after arriving, with HR citing policy violations and older workplace issues. The company reportedly paid severance equivalent to 10 weeks' salary, sparking debate over return-to-office mandates and workplace fairness.
