I’m fortunately still remote. However, I explicitly had my contract state that if I am to be RTO’d I require a 25% pay raise. I also had a guaranteed severance clause added if I was let go in the first year.
Personally, if they fire me if they did an RTO I wouldn’t care, I have other remote opportunities lined up.
Edit: I’ll never do the 4+ hour total daily commute I was doing before, it sucked the life out of me. (I lived 40 miles from the office…) I would gladly give up 15% pay to keep a remote role.

You’re lucky to be in a place without at-will employment. Clauses like that would be a dream.
Severance clauses are becoming more and more common now due to people being fired left and right. Id sacrifice pay for it.
