I was just hired as a Sr. Dev with the understanding that it would be fully remote. I start tomorrow, and today the CEO sent a company-wide email saying that they now expect everyone to come in 3 days a week. What should I do?

I’m pretty frustrated. My recruiter and the team told me this would be a remote position, and I turned down other offers that were definitely fully remote. It’s all at-will employment though so they can just tell me to take a hike if I don’t play ball. Additionally, the only office space they have is 40min away driving, and I don’t have (nor want) a car. I need to talk with them tomorrow to find out what they expect, but going to an office 3 days a week is not going to work for me. I had a second offer from a company that is definitely fully remote. Is it out of line for me to email them to see if that position has been filled? What would you do?
