JPMorgan is now mandating all managing directors work from the office five days a week. But that rubbed some workers the wrong way, who vented on an internal messaging system, per Reuters. They griped about being stuck in virtual meetings despite being in the office, long commutes, and family responsibilities.

Employers are hardening demands for workers to return to the office and quashing resistance.

After 2020's COVID-19 lockdowns forced office workers to work from home, many of them discovered the benefits of remote work. Many of the same companies demanding workers return to the office have recently conducted mass layoffs — some more than once.

Salesforce's CEO said the company's younger, remote workers may be less productive than their peers. It's possible that Salesforce's younger, remote employees are less productive than the rest of the staff. But it's unlikely that the problem is remote work itself, or the work ethic of remote employees, based on the growing body of research on flexible work. The problem isn't remote work — it's how remote workers are managedBut Salesforce's problem probably isn't necessarily that it permits remote work. On the other hand, Neeley wrote, leaders who micromanage their employees' time "are the kiss of death in hybrid work."
