Teleworking has brought many advantages to both companies and workers, increasing their productivity, improving family reconciliation, and even increasing the benefits of companies that have adopted a remote model. However, it seems that There are some companies that still want to be in control with their plans to return to the offices.
This is the case of Activision, who, according to what we read in Engadget, they would have fired several employees illegally due to a refusal about the new rules back to the officesusing the excuse of having used foul language for said refusal.
The main problem with the return to office plan is that many of the workers can work with equal or greater efficiency from their homes, so some of them will see the cost of living rise, eventually forcing them out of their jobs due to transportation costs, for example.

Activision defends that this is not retaliation and that these workers have been fired for their language, currently protected by the government.
