Facebook parent company Meta has implemented a return-to-office mandate, requiring employees to work from physical office locations at least three days a week. The policy change will not affect Meta’s remote workers, but employees assigned to an office must comply with the rules starting this week. Meta stated that it believes distributed work will remain important in the future but wants to invest in a valuable in-person experience for those who work from the office.
This decision follows other tech giants, such as Amazon and Alphabet, reversing remote work policies and demanding a return to physical offices. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously stated that remote work can be successful at scale but hinted at updating the policy after an internal analysis showed in-person engineers performed better.
