A trend is emerging where companies like Amazon, AT&T, and Walmart are ending remote work policies and mandating employees return to offices. This shift has sparked backlash as many employees prefer remote work and are willing to resign rather than relocate. For instance, Walmart's new rules prompted significant discontent, leading to job cuts and high-profile resignations. Research indicates nearly half of remote workers may leave their jobs if forced to return full-time. The rise in remote work has seen participation jump from 9 million in 2019 to over 22 million in 2023.
A significant shift is underway as more companies, after years of widespread remote work, are now compelling employees to return to the office.
Fortune reported that the company received major pushback from employees working remotely. Many opted to quit rather than relocate to company headquarters.
According to the Pew Research Center, nearly half of workers who work from home say they would most likely not stay at their jobs if they were required to return to the office.
The prevalence of remote work increased dramatically, with over 22 million people working from home by 2023 compared to approximately 9 million in 2019.
