I am confused by the recent news reports that some employees are refusing to come into the office to work. Really? If I was an employer, and I wanted my employees to work in the office, I would demand it, or they would be fired immediately. What is going on? I don't get it. Can someone please explain to me how an employee can tell their employer that they refuse to come into the office?

Depends on the field, but many workers today just don't care what the employer wants. They want to work from home and that's it. They should be fired, in my opinion, but with a lack of replacement workers willing to commute to an office each day the employer may be stuck without enough bodies to get the work done. If it was my business I would let them go...
