Return to office

Remote workers could lose their jobs if they fail to show up at the office in person three days a week.

As leaders push for employees to return to the office, workers continue to resist, favoring the flexibility of remote and hybrid models. The result? A transformation that is reshaping office culture, productivity and talent retention.

In a new interview, Dimon said remote work "doesn't work" and noted some JPMorgan employees were checking their phones while he was speaking in a meeting.

Verizon emailed multiple AT&T employees asking them to consider its jobs.

Other new RTO perks include free parking, a daily catered lunch, and access to an onsite gym.

Many professionals value the flexibility of remote work — and they're not reacting well to forced in-office returns.

Amazon is reportedly short at least 800 desks in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Zillow's 6,800 employees have been fully remote for the past five years — and the company's CEO says they're not going back to in-person work.

Walmart is giving some employees at least a month to decide if they want to relocate.

Employees were given the option to leave comments about the RTO mandate with their first and last names on display — and they did not hold back.

JPMorgan is the largest bank in the United States.

The mandates could increase employee turnover by 14%, according to a new study.

This company used to have 12 million square feet of office space — now it has 4 million.

The return-to-office mandate was not a "backdoor layoff," according to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.

Walmart's return-to-office policy requires employees to move to its main offices in Bentonville, Arkansas, or other large offices, including Hoboken, New Jersey.

A Starbucks spokesperson told CNBC their new CEO would "exceed the hybrid work guidelines," which require staff to be in the office three days a week.

Walmart is requiring hundreds of remote workers to move to Bentonville, Arkansas.

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly told employees that email traffic dropped 20% after one of his companies trialed work-from-home Fridays.

The bank implemented a return to office policy in October 2022.

New internal documents viewed by multiple outlets shed light on the strict new policy.

By scrapping the gains in flexible working environments made during the pandemic, firms are essentially establishing a "men first" hiring policy, whether they realize it or not. An inflexible return-to-office approach is pushing women out, which in turn fosters an environment that is even more exclusive.
