I will comply with everything they ask, and be very diligent. I need the job badly, and I would rather get severance over quitting or being fired if I must leave. I don’t have other options at the moment, nor can I look for another job for a few months. Just life circumstances. It’s unfortunate, and I feel cornered, but I just have to do it.

“ Me too. I am in my early 60s and have worked over 20 years for T, want to work a few more years to 67. I make slightly over $100,000. This is good money.

You are about to find yourself fired. They are tracking your hours. Min 8 in office. You will be warned and then written up soon. Already seeing it happen. Also 100k as an office job ain’t much, you should look on career hub to see just how much you aren’t getting paid and check the job market.
A fake post from a groveling pathetic loser
Job market is rough. My job search took roughly a year. Finding a good match for my lifestyle with a company that give flexibility was hard to find. Keep looking and you'll find what you are looking for. Also use your network aet your profiles so that recruiters and past co workers reach out to you.

just proves the point that you were only working a couple hours a day at home.
and that the job can be done with less workers.

“As for the other no-option-Bobs like yourself: expect to pick up all the work that people who can leave will leave behind for you to do.”
95% of T employees are no other option Bobs. It’s nice for you to wish others well but you know you will still be here too. We all will.

Condolences
People like you with no other options or those that need just a few more years will be the only ones left soon. Get ready for them to pull out the same ole tired 'do more with less' playbook. As for the other no-option-Bobs like yourself: expect to pick up all the work that people who can leave will leave behind for you to do. Have fun with that. I wish you well.
Thats the spirit minion.
A lot of people are in the same boat.
