All remote workers are to return to the office !?

I work for a medical company, and I have been working remotely since I joined IT here a couple of years ago.

I work for a medical company, and I have been working remotely since I joined IT here a couple of years ago. Our CEO just announced that starting Monday all remote workers need to return to the office.

I do application work for areas across the country, I will still be remote for 90% of my work. I get I have it nice, and I am grateful for a well-paid job that I enjoy but it sucks a lot and at this point, I am working on my resume. We were told by IT leadership recently that we would maintain working remotely in IT. They knew nothing about this announcement and are now scrambling to see if it applies to us. This will add 7-9 hours per week for me in just drive time. I am annoyed. Guess I need to refresh my resume.
