A growing list of companies is mandating employees to return to the office full or part-time, impacting work-life balance.
Starting in 2025, many of these firms are pushing for a full return to the office. For instance, Amazon and AT&T announced they want their employees back in the office five days a week. Sweetgreen is also increasing its in-person requirements for support staff.
Other big names like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are ditching the hybrid work model they had during the pandemic. They believe that being in the office boosts productivity and collaboration. Some CEOs who once praised remote work are now insisting on these return-to-office rules, even tracking attendance and firing those who don’t comply.
Business Insider will keep updating the list of companies that are requiring employees to return to the office. It’s a big shift, and many employees are voicing their concerns about it.
