The need to induce soft layoffs could be driven by recession threats and changes related to consumer spending, workplace experts told CNBC Make It.

This prompted some employees to leave instead of uprooting their families or breaking their leases.

"If a company decides that certain roles must be performed in the office, they might lay off remote workers and then initiate a new hiring process to fill those roles with employees willing to work in the office."Why wouldn't companies call a spade a spade? It could be due to a multitude of reasons, but experts told CNBC Make It it ultimately "comes down to money."

By associating the layoffs with a broader workplace strategy, the company can direct the narrative and manage the way the information is perceived by both employees and the public, said Schawbel. "By framing the layoffs as part of a larger strategy, the company might attempt to minimize the negative impact on morale. It can also lead to less speculation about the company's financial health and stability."
