Tech CEOs are backtracking on their RTO mandates—now, just 3% of firms asking workers to go into the office full-time (fortune.com)

Many tech firms have spent the last two years summoning workers back into the office—all the while threatening them with layoffs. Even Zoom reverted to in-person working last year.

But now, it looks like tech bosses have given up their war on working from home.

Just 3% of tech firms are now asking their workers to go into the office full-time—a significant drop from 8% last year.

Flex Index analyzed the flexible work policies for 2,670 tech companies that collectively employ over 11 million people—and it found that tech firms have conceded that flexible working is here to stay.

In fact, 79% of the tech firms surveyed are fully flexible, up from 75% in 2023.

Meanwhile, more and more firms are giving employees the choice of when and where they work.

We’ve been full RTO since mid-2022, what’s that 3% actually counting?

Edit- mid 2022. Damn time is weird.

Just because your company is in the office doesn’t mean others are. A lot of us are still remote / hybrid. Especially in the mid size companies.

San Francisco’s SoMa district, arguably one of the nations most important tech hubs, is still a ghost town full of empty of empty offices and “for lease” signs.

This situation will continue for at least another couple years until businesses and the city figure out what a downtown should be for

My point was more about timeline. Is my company’s RTO mandate from 2022 part of the 3%? 8%? How are they counting? The article wasn’t very clear to me so I must be missing something.

The 3% is full RTO, down from 8% last year. The article goes into all the details.
