The article discusses the trend of employers mandating in-office work based on an employee's distance from the office. Some companies, like Dell and IBM, have clear policies regarding the commuting requirements, while others draw lines at varying distances. Notably, Density offers relocation assistance to encourage its remote workers to move closer to the office. Oliver Shaw, CEO of Orgvue, exemplifies the commuting challenge faced by remote employees who may feel unfairly exempt from in-office requirements. This emphasizes the evolving landscape of remote and hybrid work arrangements as companies adjust their policies.
"By and large, if you didn't relocate, then you found another job," cofounder and CEO Andrew Farah said. "We take a reasonably hard policy on it."
"What’s not fine, however, in Shaw's view, is to say that those who live far from the office - like he does - get out of having to commute at least some of the time."
"Meantime, the federal government is giving different consideration, at least initially, to workers living more 50 miles from an office."
"Dell CEO Michael Dell said that starting in March, the company would expect workers living within roughly an hour of an office to show up five days a week."
