Oakland city government ends remote work program
Briefly

The City of Oakland is reinstating in-office work for government employees, mandating a return to the office four days a week starting February 18 for many non-unionized staff. This decision stems from a memo by City Administrator Jestin Johnson, moving away from the remote work policy that had been praised for increasing productivity and morale during the pandemic. The city will still permit remote work on a limited basis. Similar trends are emerging in other cities and major companies as they reassess telecommuting policies in a post-pandemic landscape.
