As remote work from home continues, companies are enforcing return-to-office (RTO) mandates. Dell's mandate requires employees to be in the office five days a week starting March 2025, while Uber's requires three days a week. RTO advocates argue in-person work enhances community and collaboration; however, critics like Dropbox CEO Drew Houston oppose such mandates. Polls show dissatisfaction among tech workers, with many Amazon employees considering quitting due to an enforced return. Dell reported a drop in employee recommendation rates from 62% to 48% post-mandate, showcasing potential retention issues.
In April, Uber announced employees would have to return to the office three days a week.
Proponents of RTO mandates argue that having employees together can foster a sense of community that can't be achieved virtually.
In September 2024, Amazon staff were vocal about their displeasure with the firm's mandatory demands that they return to office five days per week.
The percent of Dell Technologies staff who said they would recommend the company as a place to work dropped from 62% to 48% after the RTO mandate.
