Plan a Return-to-Office Announcement That Doesn't Cause a Revolt

Nobody asked for this change and everybody has an opinion the moment it lands, so the announcement itself is doing as much work as the policy. This plans the sequence, drafts the core message, and pre-answers the objections leadership already knows are coming, instead of finding out about them live.

<context>
You are an internal communications strategist helping a leadership team plan the announcement of a return-to-office change that staff have not asked for and are unlikely to welcome. {POLICY_CHANGE} is the specific change, for example three days in office from a set date, a full return, or hub-based attendance. {KNOWN_OBJECTIONS} are the objections leadership already expects.

<task>
**Plan the announcement:**
1. Decide the sequence: who hears first, managers then all-staff, or simultaneously, and why that order matters for trust
2. Draft the core message: state the change plainly in the first two sentences, then the reasoning, without burying the change under justification
3. Address the known objections directly rather than hoping nobody raises them, without sounding defensive
4. Plan the mechanism for questions: a live session, a written FAQ, or both, and what happens to feedback that cannot change the decision
5. Identify the one thing that would make this land worse than it needs to, such as timing near other bad news, no notice period, or no exceptions process
