Amazon is now giving managers leeway to effectively fire employees who fail to meet the company's three-times-a-week, return-to-office mandate. That's according to updated global manager guidance on Amazon's return-to-office policy obtained by Insider. The guidelines tell managers to first hold a private conversation with employees who don't comply with the three-times-a-week requirement. Giving managers the ability to fire employees for non-compliance is the strongest measure Amazon has taken over its return-to-office policy. In February, Amazon said that corporate employees would have to come into the office at least three times a week starting in May.

His criticism of remote work marked an abrupt shift from a discussion about Tesla's car pricing during the company's earnings call. AdvertisementAdvertisementTesla CEO Elon Musk ranted against remote work during Tesla's third-quarter financial results call and criticized the work-from-home crowd as being "detached from reality." Because it mattered," Musk said, while drawing a comparison between remote workers to factory workers, restaurant workers, and delivery workers. After sharing his thoughts on remote work, he resumed the pricing discussion by saying, "So, I just can't emphasize again how important cost is." In May, Musk told CNBC he thought remote work was "morally wrong," and likened remote workers to Marie Antoinette's infamous "let them eat cake" remark.

The home-exchange startup Swapdesk is targeting remote workers who can temporarily trade places. It was the push he needed to start a business that helps remote workers find comfortable, quiet places to set up shop. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe benefit of Swapdesk, Boening said, is that trading a home is far less expensive than staying in a hotel or a short-term rental in a major city. Swapdesk, which is based in Toronto, is among the companies focusing on remote workers , particularly in areas like tech. Swapdesk's focus on serving remote workers comes as more CEOs have called employees back to the office , at least part of the time .

Remote workers are out-earning their in-office peers in several industries including tech and finance, according to new research from Payscale. The findings corroborate other research that shows that people who work from home earn more. Remote workers are twice as likely to earn above the median pay for non-remote workers in the same industry and zip code, a study from payroll provider Gusto found last fall. For their report, Payscale surveyed over 300,000 working U.S. adults between August 2021 and August 2023, defining "remote" as anyone who telecommutes most or all of the time. Retail and customer service has the widest pay gap between remote and non-remote workers of all industries, Payscale reports, followed by finance and insurance, with tech and manufacturing a close third and fourth.

Remote work has plummeted from its pandemic high. Remote work's gradual decline reflects the ongoing push from companies to get employees back in the office: 43% of companies have set tighter limits around remote work or mandated some form of return-to-office over the past year, ZipRecruiter reports. Although some bosses have recognized the benefits of remote work — and studies have shown that employees are often more productive and less likely to quit when they have some degree of workplace flexibility — many are still hesitant to adopt remote work permanently. "It's an incredibly challenging, frustrating and disorienting time for employers when the tool they relied on most, observing employees in-person, is gone," ZipRecruiter chief economist Julia Pollak tells CNBC Make It. "The challenges with remote work aren't going to be solved overnight, but making that change is a strong start."

David Baszucki, founder and CEO of Roblox, presents at the Roblox Developer Conference on August 10, 2019 in Burlingame, California. Roblox employees who don't want to work at the gaming company's physical office at least three days a week will need find a job elsewhere. Tuesday's announcement marks an about-face for Roblox, which told employees in May of last year that it was giving "employees the option to either come to the office regularly a few days a week, or to primarily work remotely," coming in for "quarterly get-togethers." Ultimately, however, he said working in an office strengthens the company culture and results in more innovative and productive employees. "A three-hour Group Review in person is much less exhausting than over video and brainstorming sessions are more fluid and creative," Baszucki wrote.

Yet one of the enduring legacies of the COVID-era housing market may be the proliferation of bidding wars for rentals. Bidding wars have periodically reared their ugly heads during overheated stretches in New York City's housing market. And while things have cooled down since the mania of 2022, in places where available rental inventory remains low, the bidding wars just won't die. Still, it's hard not to worry that we've opened Pandora's box when it comes to bidding wars. Bidding wars may feel distasteful, embarrassing, and unfairly favor those with the means to drive up already exorbitant asking rents.

Some Americans are secretly working multiple remote jobs. AdvertisementAdvertisementOne of your co-workers could be secretly working multiple remote jobs to boost their finances. But holding two remote jobs could breach some employment contracts and lead to job termination. But it could become more popular as the remote work revolution provides additional opportunities for Americans to take on more work. "Clearly, if people can work multiple jobs at the same time, then I need to redefine their role to be more rigorous," she said.

By 9 am ET, more than 75,000 Kaiser workers plan to join picket lines, marking the largest health care strike in US history. In the wake of pandemic, however, health care workers in particular have been fighting for safer and more secure work environments. Many health care employees are set to join the picket lines, including nursing staff, dietary workers, receptionists, optometrists, and pharmacists. Kaiser Permanente “members” pay dues to the organization to gain access to Kaiser Permanente’s wide-ranging health care services. The increased number of health care strikes have happened despite health care workers making up only about 9% of private sector union members nationwide.
