Some staff members were alerted on Wednesday they were “not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week”, according to emails shared with the Financial Times. The emails were also discussed on the anonymous corporate message board platform Blind.

environments need to be duplicated between home and office

My work started """recommending""" that we come in 3 days a week. Not required, just recommended. They expect us to just carry all of our stuff back and forth between work and home every day. We don't have permanent desks. They are shared by design. We need to reserve them from a web page.

My team has been largely ignoring their """recommendation""" but I know it's only a matter of time before it's a requirement.

Ours switched to attesting in the hr system. You don’t do your 3 days? That’s a paddlin’

I come into the office three days a week (as required for me), but I have a dedicated office. Next year, we’re moving to a much smaller space that will require most of us to reserve a spot from the app. Color me not excited.
