Washington Post Employees Ordered Back to Office 5 Days a Week

Published On Nov 7, 2024, 5:30 PM

The Washington Post will require all employees to return to the office by June 2, 2025, with managers expected back full time by February 3. This move, led by CEO William Lewis, aims to enhance in-person collaboration, a trend mirrored by Amazon's recent policy change. However, this decision faces backlash from the Washington Post Guild, which criticizes it as inflexible and potentially disruptive to productivity. This policy comes amidst ongoing issues following Jeff Bezos' controversial decision to end the paper's endorsement of presidential candidates, which resulted in cancellations and criticism from journalists.
