Yes but, also

Tracy Parolin, had had a flexible work schedule with her employer, Cressey Construction Corporation, since returning from maternity leave in 2013 after giving birth to twins, one of whom had a significant health issue

the court may have ruled in the employer's favour if Parolin didn't have the flexible work arrangement prior to the pandemic.

"For many employers, where they temporarily had their employees go home only because of the pandemic, they'll be in a much better situation if they wish to call employees back to the office," she said.

So I would take this precedent with a grain of salt. It does NOT mean that employers can't transition an employee from remote to office; it means that employers just can't be too much of a dick about doing it especially for employees who had it negotiated it individually.
