"Any exception must be approved by an executive who reports to Suleyman directly, according to the document. Microsoft on Tuesday notified employees via an internal email from HR chief Amy Coleman that the company is mandating employees to work from offices at least three days a week. That email, viewed by Business Insider, stated, "Each business will do what is best for their team, which means some groups will deviate from our company-wide expectations.""
"Microsoft is mandating AI org employees return to the office 4 days weekly starting January 26. The new mandate for the AI organization comes as Microsoft tries to become more competitive in luring AI talent amid the talent wars with OpenAI, Meta, Google, and others. Suleyman's organization has a special recruiting team to handle competitive offers, and the company is trying to poach AI engineers and researchers with multimillion-dollar pay packages from its AI rivals."
Microsoft AI employees who live within set distances of specific offices must be in the office four days per week starting January 26. The rule applies to employees within 50 miles of offices in Seattle, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and within 25 miles of AI offices in cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Noida, Taipei, Cairo, Dublin, Belgrade, Zurich, London, and Vancouver. Exceptions require approval from an executive who reports directly to AI chief Mustafa Suleyman. Microsoft-wide HR guidance sets a three-day-in-office expectation, while the AI group enforces a stricter schedule to support recruiting and competitiveness in the AI talent market.
