Companies knew the mandated return to the office would cause some attrition, however, they were not prepared for the serious problems that would present.

My company got rid of their main office and we are never going back to full in-office. And it’s one of the reasons I’m not looking at offers from other companies. I’m happy, and my team is happy.
We haven't gotten rid of our main office quite yet (we just signed a 5 year lease in October '19, talk about timing), but we got rid of the satellite office and are absolutely recruiting in remote-first fashion. I fully expect us to just not have an office (or, at least, significantly downsize) once that lease is up.
It's a pity. That office was such a huge upgrade from the old one, but given the events of the last 3.25 years, I'm not going to miss it that much.
