What happens if someone refuses to return to the office? Anyone had this situation?

I'm so burnt out and feel the same. Lay me off in November so I can collect my sub. It's really the best possible outcome because no one will even question this employment gap on a resume since the economy will be doing poorly and we'll likely be in a recession. Plus, those of us unemployed will likely qualify for forgiveness with credit cards and loan interest once we hit a recession.
I hope they lay us off at year end with the sub package. Let's face it, it's the talented people refusing to return so the company will lose what remains of their competent employees.
They are looking at who is swiping their ID and they know who is going into the office and who is not. I heard by the end of the year those who refuse to to the office will be terminated. I am one of those who is not going into the office…
I just don't worry about it. I do my work, I'm basically on call 24/7, I'm not going back to the office. If they want to replace me so be it. I could use the time off to re-charge, I'm burned out.
The expectation is that you will return to the office. Don't return, below expectation rating given. Managers will have to do the needful for the folks that refuse to RTO.

If it's brown
Boil before drinking it down
I filled my water bottle up at the Pittsburgh offices during one of my few in-office days recently and the water was brown. So I packed my stuff up and left - and won't be back.
Our water cooler was outside the bathrooms. I could see getting some funny looks if I started hanging out there.

I continue to stay home. I am asked often. & just respond I am unable to at this time. We’ll see how this plays out.
I'd assume it depends on your value and team situation. If you are highly replaceable they will find someone naive enough to take your job and submit to the crushing and unrewarding RTO shenanigans. Remember, the water cooler is the pillar of work and productivity. You must frequent it often to succeed.
