C.E.O.s, and President Trump, Want Workers Back in the Office
Published On Jan 21, 2025, 5:00 AM
Recent developments indicate a strong push from both the federal government and major corporations towards an end to remote work as we have known it. An executive order from President Trump mandates that federal employees return to in-person work five days a week, aligning with the actions of companies like Amazon, JPMorgan, and AT&T, which have also instructed their employees to resume office work full-time. This shift is fueled by changing employee sentiments and a cultural reinvigoration of office life, signaled by recent media portrayals.
