Meta ends remote work policy, asks employees to work from office 3 days a week

Facebook parent Meta is rolling back its full-time remote-work policy, though the company is still offering the option for hybrid work. Under the new policy, Meta employees have to work from the office thrice a week, while remote workers can continue to work from home. The new policy will come into effect in September. The company extended its remote-work policy in 2021 amid the Omicron variant scare. However, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg started dropping hints about the end of remote work after the company laid off 11,000 workers late last year. Not just Meta, other big tech firms, including Amazon, Google, and Apple, are also operating in a hybrid model. We’re also committed to continuously refining our model to foster the collaboration, relationships and culture necessary for employees to do their best work.”
