Has anyone actually been fired for refusing to RTO?

My company is claiming that they will dock our performance ratings at year end or even fire us if we don't go in an average of 3 days a week. This us a very large company that had a “soft” RTO policy last year (not really enforced) but this year they claim that they're cracking down and enforcing it. For context, a lot of us were WFH before the pandemic, and even when we are in the office, we are spread out all over the country. They only know if we come in by checking badge scans.

I ask because I'm sick of going to an office where I know nobody and doing work that could easily be done at home and I want to try to push to see what the limits are.

I'm also having a hard time believing that anyone would fire otherwise good employees because they don't report to an office 3 days a week to do remote work instead of just doing their job (well) from home.

Just wondering if anyone has seen the hammer actually come down with discipline or termination.
