@NicolasRinaudo Ouch, hope you can work something out. Everything is very stupid at the moment.
@tpolecat I'm not yet out of a job and to be honest, the management I'm in contact with (so many layers of management here!) is being surprisingly helpful. They're literally doing everything they can, but it's unclear whether there's anything they can actually do.

so many layers of management here!
Yeah, I would imagine this might contribute to the issue, where the top dogs don't really notice how much people are actually unable to go back to the office.
Arguably, stuff like this is exactly why middle management exists in the first place, but I'm not sure how easy it is to bubble up those concerns along all the layers.
Either way, I would expect that either you are hired as a contractor (in which case... maybe there will be an exception) or you should be employed by a French subsidiary, so maybe they can assign you to a French office?
Although moving to another country or to another corner or France might not make much of a difference...
@NicolasRinaudo @JD557 @tpolecat
Ouch.
a lot of "return to office" are also just way to get cheap layoffs, and to impose compulsion, reminding that you have to follow stupid orders to be part of the team. Hope it's not just that.
I hope you will find a way, and I wish the best outcome for you
Oh look, a return to the office mandate, and my office is... in a different country.
This feels like I might be on the market for a job soon.
