I am the only IT person at an institution. Everyone is going back to the office.
I am fighting tooth and nail get remote work back. It's failing.
I'm gonna quit with no notice and legitimately send them a "fuck you" email when I leave.
Get your new position first. The only FU email to send is they offered me more and work from home. I wish you luck in finding a good replacement and thank you for the opportunities this role gave me. And then stay silent. Any requests for help are met with an IC quote with a ridiculous hourly rate.
This. Don’t burn your bridges! You never know who knows who.
IC? Insane Clown? Don't you need to form a posse before you're allowed to quote those professionally?
Do not send a rude letter nor in fact say anything rude. It is fine to be honest but be professional. You never know where the People that read your note shall end up and in five Years they may be reviewing you for a position and the note may affect their decision.
Burning bridges may seem cathartic at the time but they are unlikely to lead to anything positive.
Quiet quit. Look for a second job. When they fire / lay you off then apply for unemployment and hit their metrics.
This is just a strategy to try and get you to do exactly what you're doing - voluntarily leaving in a way that leaves no stain on their employment records.
For the record voluntary terminations are absolutely a metric that companies closely follow. When I was in HR I often received just as much scrutiny if not more on voluntary terms than involuntary.

I got to quit an incredibly toxic insurance job without notice. I got a better job and wrote a "fuck you" notice letter, delivered it in person, then got to watch the bosses read it and panic as I packed up my cubicle. Other employees in the department asked why I was quitting and I said that the company sucks and that our department gets paid the least despite doing the most intense work and being under the most pressure. I said I felt like I was working for villains because all management cared about was profit. I went to Denny's afterwards for a job well quit.
One of the other employees ended up being my neighbor when I bought my house, and she told me a bunch of people quit right after I did and that the department I was in is pretty much empty now.
The feeling of quitting like that is incredible. I've never felt that way before or since. I don't go out of my way to fuck over people who have mistreated me, but that job fuckin deserved it. Too bad the company is a nation-wide company, so it can't go out of business easily. At least I was able to mess up one location for a bit lol.
