Staff working for YouTube Music protested on Friday in Texas over a return-to-office requirement.
Cognizant workers said most were hired to work remotely and a quarter were not even based in Texas.
"It's unfeasible for me to move back to Austin," one worker now based in Florida said.

More than 40 contractors working for YouTube Music workers protested Friday outside Google's office in Austin, Texas, against a return-to-office order.
