2 in 5 techies quit over inflexible workplace policies
Briefly

A recent survey of over 26,000 staff, including 2,548 in tech, found that 40% of tech workers left their jobs due to inflexible policies regarding hours and location. Many reported that remote work enhances community ties and trust in their employers, highlighting a significant mismatch between employee needs and company policies. Despite some companies beginning to offer more flexible arrangements, many prominent firms continue to enforce strict return-to-office mandates, risking further attrition of top talent.
