800 employees resign from edtech startup WhiteHat Jr after company asks all employees to work from office
As the Covid situation has improved, several companies have already called their employees to office, ending the work from home (WFH). However, it seems some employees want to work from home further. Recently, hundreds of employees have resigned when a company asked them to come to the office. Over 800 WhiteHat Jr employees have resigned from the kids online coding learning edtech start-up in the last two months after being asked to work from office. This comes after WhiteHat Jr, a platform which was acquired by BYJU’S in 2020, asked its employees to return to office within a month’s time, according to an Inc42 report. On March 18, the company announced the policy to end work from home and asked remote employees to return to office by April 18. https://atechdaily.com/employees-resign-after-company-asks-them-to-work-from-office.html

Whitehat jr and byjus is one big scam
Amen
Can you add more color?
This is not just a typical RTO story. Sounds like people were given just a month to uproot themselves and move to a high cost city. "At the time of hiring, employees were told about their job location – WhiteHat Jr has offices in Gurugram, Mumbai and Bengaluru. " Also, this is India. They might not relocate easily, and there might be issues with childcare.
I’m wondering if there are 800 remote jobs for all those who quit.
I think the teachers have resigned and not many tech folks
